The first school year come to an end and we have the next problem.

Lamin has no school uniform and can't go to school since more than a month.  He wrote me: "I use to borrow a uniform from a friend of mine, he took them back from me and he is using them, I have not one that's why am not going to school."
Now I try to get contact to the headmaster. I asked him, if it is possible to pay the uniform from the school fee, or how much money he need. But I get no answer. Now I try to reach contact to the German help project team - no answer. Sometimes it is not easy to help.
It can't be, that Lamin don't go to school because of missing this uniform.
The time run and run. Lamin don't visit the school and I can't find a way to help. I fear, that we lose an entire school year if no conclusion Lamin gets.

Good news. I got a information from the German project leader. In the moment is a colleague in Gambia and he will clarify the situation. When he is back, I will get the information  what we can do in the future, to help Lamin. I'm sure that we will find a solution.

I got again no answer up today. Now I wrote an e-mail to an address which I found on the page from the German help project. (www.kinderdorf-bottrop-in-gambia.de) I hope to get there an answer.

You can write him an mail or talk with him on MSN. You can see the address on my MSN-profile.

Money is only one point of help. To organise the help is also difficult. 

Maybe "jasonsimms" can make a report about Lamin and the school in Gambia. It gives a bit public and some other persons spend a bit money or have talk with Lamin.

i understand how you are feeling.  He has had a chance to go to school and can not be absent because an uniform.  Why there are still no answer from his headmaster? I think maybe he hasnt got your request. If he has, he would surely answer.

I dont know what i can do to help Lamin . Anyway, I believe that he would be a successful man with all these no matter help or wishes
