Help Sulayman become a trained nurse

Hallie Brown writes:
​Sulayman Barry is a native of Sambel Kunda in CRR South. He attended BrikamaBa Senior Secondary School. For the past 5 years, Sulayman has worked as an unpaid nurse assistant at the Kuntaur Major Health Center, where he has specialized in antenatal care and deliveries. Sulayman has worked as the counterpart to two Peace Corps Volunteers, supporting projects on antenatal care and FGM. He is currently applying to the registered nurse program at The University of The Gambia and the two community health nurse programs, which are located in Mansa Konko and Bansang. He is anticipating to hear back from these programs in the coming months. Supporting Sulayman’s education would be supporting a lifelong dream of becoming a nurse. Because of his past experience working in a health center, many of the topics and subject areas are already second nature to him. The biggest barrier to Sulayman reaching this goal is finances. 

Any and all support you can provide would go directly to helping educate a dedicated and compassionate future nurse. 

I am raising money for Sulayman through GambiaRising, which was founded by returned Peace Corps volunteers and former staff.  They are an all-volunteer organization and 100% of everything you donate will go directly to support Sulayman.  If you prefer to send a check, you can send it to the address below. In either case you donation will be tax-deductible under IRS code 501(c)3.
