Picked up again and taken to the NGO building to commence our two hour language training. After a lovely buffet lunch myself and James who is an accompanying partner/husband to Kathy walked back to the hotel as the volunteers were to be meeting there employers and other staff from their workplace to discuss programmes etc.

After a hot walk back to the hotel and the odd Gambian trying to sell us things, I picked up Jenny, Abi and Bradley and we headed out to visit the Zenith School were we are looking to enrol Abigail and Bradley in September. The staff run a summer school for the week for those children who are behind. We found them to be very welcoming which immediately reassured me, unfortunately Vicky Clarke the Head Mistress was at home working, however, the admin assistant asked one of the security men to take us to her house, and (you wouldn’t expect that in England). We found Vicky to be an approachable no nonsense type of person, and she explained to us the school curriculum they used, which is very much like England which was a positive outcome.
