Eine Nachricht von der Leiterin unserer Schule | A Message From Our School’s Headmistress

Hello everyone,
My name is Fatou Colley. I am the current head of Labakoreh Nursery School (Almohela Nursery School) in The Gambia. I would like to briefly share my life journey with you.
I was born and raised in Kiang, in the Gambian province, where I also attended primary school. Later, I moved to Kombo in the West Coast Region, where I attended middle and high school. During this time, I was raised by a single parent—my mother—as my parents were divorced.
From 2017 to 2019, I completed my diploma program at The Gambia College, with my education funded by the Gambian government.
In October 2019, I was posted to Youna Lower Basic School, and in November of the same year, I applied to Labakoreh Nursery School. On February 6, 2020, I got married, and I now have two children, both girls.
In 2024, I spoke with Monika, Hela, and Malve about my desire to further my education at the International Open University (IOU). Monika promised to find a sponsor for me, and that’s how my sponsor, Mrs. Heike, came in. I am grateful for all of this.
