of building new houses. Pretty sure at age 8 I couldn't have built my
own house, these kids have skill! They collected palms and sticks and up
it went with a whole lot of effort from the team. These boys are
boarding students in town. Not our own, they stay with another Fulani
man in Emi-woro, but they live without parents and away from home. They
are faithful to come to school, learning English by day and Arabic from
their boarding master in the afternoon. They also fetch water and
firewood, build houses and farm in their spare time. Many of them were
in my transition class last year. Since we don't get to hang out much
anymore (they are very busy) its a really special afternoon when I get
to visit their place with books and colors and jump rope.
