On May 6th we combined business with pleasure, buying beautiful Nigerian lace and Fulani artifacts at a local market, touring the palace of the Emir then going on safari into the bush to discuss possibilities of opening an extension school for a group of about 100 Fulani children. The camp is several hours’ drive from …., and the children very young, so we’ve agreed to sending two Christian teachers to bring the children up through Primary 3, after which the kids will come as boarders to ….. for Primary 4 and beyond.
These Fulani , under the leadership of Malaam Sani, a close friend of Chief’s, have agreed to our Christian guidelines and we in turn have agreed to helping them with a small classroom building and school supplies.
But before we can do that, we’ll have to repair their existing water system – a borehole, pump and water tank out of commission for some time – and get these children clean and healthy again. This would be a great team project for some of YOU to consider! Imagine camping in a Fulani village for two weeks, providing children and families with clean water and a school! What an amazing opportunity to share the love of Jesus.
