Back to Burkina

I return to Burkina Faso in about a week.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone again. This is a photo of Mousa, one of Yusufi's children, with a lamb of which he is particularly proud.

Rains
It is the start of the rainy season now. Please pray for good rains this year. When I spoke to Seydou recently he was saying the rains haven't yet started.

The rains of course make travel difficult, and I have quite a bit of travelling to do, with two teams coming out from France during the next couple of months.

School
During the two months, we will also be continuing to move things forward for the school. We plan to open the school this year with just year 1, and to do that in a rented yard, while we design and build the school over the coming year. We have the yard, and will start recruiting students in the next few weeks.

Overload
In the meantime, I still have quite a lot to do before I go. The work is growing quickly, which is great. We have the well-drilling coming up in November, and several church partnerships running, with more possibly developing. We are planning a soccer camp for next year. And of course the ongoing work with the pastors as we reach out among the Fulani, Tamacheq, and Songhai peoples.

However, we do we need to get the structures in place to allow it to grow. In particular please pray that we can find an administrator to help me with all the practical workload.

Many thanks
