The eldest son Lesta did well at high school. As I paid for his eduction, ,both Lesta and myself want him to use this education to better himself. I would like to get him into England to train as a photographer [my profession, now retired, if photographers ever do] Have you any thoughts or suggestions as to how I can arrange to get him over here to train... ie visa. There is no way he can just beg daily for food for the family..he is far too well educated to remain like that....Any help or advice would be more than welcome. I have set Lesta up as a taxi and guide, but this is not his future...he has to use his brain Please see his website www.gambia-sight-seeing then see Lesta.
