Mam Seikh is in Grade 10 at Gambia Muslim Senior Secondary School.

He has 3 brothers and 2 sisters at school and his mother works as a fruit seller to pay for food for the family. His father is a tailor but is now too old to work and cannot help with the school fees.

His sponsor, Sylvia Fowler, met his mother on the beach during a holiday in The Gambia and used GETS to trace the family and visit the school in order to set up the sponsorship.
