Twenty-four year old Babacarr Nyang from Fass was linked with a sponsor from the age of nine. He was among the first children assisted by HELPING through the sponsorship programme. His sponsor paid his education fees through primary and secondary school. Babacarr followed this with an accountancy course at the Gambian Technical Training Institute (GTTI) in the capital, Banjul.
Babacarr was among a handful of the best students selected for a month's work experience at the Institute itself and performed so well that he was given a full time job there.
He is now proud to wear a suit to work and to have a computer at his desk. His ambition is to own a laptop!
Babacarr has a twin brother and as children, one brother was brought up by their mother, the other by their grandmother. Thanks to Babacarr's success, he is now able to support both his mother and grandmother and is paying for his brother's education.
