Gorom-Gorom School Update

Nicodeme, the teacher, with the first class of 24 children, in front of the banner they made, displaying the name of the School: "Wakkil Alla" (Depend on God, in the Fulani language).

We had a great visit recently from Richard, Thereze, and Lynne, who came to look at how to support progress in the Gorom-Gorom primary school.

Richard, together with a team of colleagues from Capita, the architects firm for which he works, are looking at how to help us design the best model of school. They are coming up with some exciting designs, and I will write more on that soon. Thereze and Lynne did craft work with the kids, and have been involved in mobilising people to pray, provide school lunches, and sponsor this first class.

Here are Richard and Lynne in class:
