born in Darsilami ....
a village near Brikama in kombo central.....
.... as a kid, i grew up in this rural area and had a lot of fun.
I attended primary school in this village, then secondary technical school in Brikama - the provincial capital of the district.
I also spent a year at the Gambia Technical Training Institute studying Electronic Engineering, and a computer training course at the Gamtel Training School in kanifing.
While trying hard to get qualified, i went through a lot of pitfalls, including dropping out from high school because my parents could not afford otpay the fees etc, etc.....
... but with a desire to carry on, today i have a higher diploma in Computer Systems Management, from the Association of Computer Systems Managers in England.
At present, I live and work in Switzerland as a computer professional with my beautiful family of two kids.

.... intresting isn't it

If you have had such an experience or even bitter ones and wants to share it with others, please send me a mail.
