Female

D.O.B 31/08/2003 

Isatou is in Nursery 1 at Kaala-Bantang Nursery School

She lives in Bundung and is sponsored by Jean Mann

Isatou’s mother Jainaba Marong, was sent to live in the village in Badibou on the north bank when she was 4 years old so that she could help an elderly aunt.  

 

Binta the elder sister stayed with her parents and was educated.  

 

Jainaba in the village really had no education, she speaks almost no English and cannot read or write. 

 

Jainabou married Isatou's father and had 4 children by him. At that time he worked as a seller, but he developed a mental condition and cannot work now. He also has a second wife and children by her too. 

 

Since Jean has been sponsoring her Isatou goes to the school in Bundung where her teacher Mrs Naffie says she is quiet and well behaved.  Isatou says she likes reading best. 

 

Jean's help means that Isatou is now going to school and getting food everyday.
