Transportation to School

7/9/2020

0 Comments

 
Finding ways to get children to school is a common problem for the schools we work with in Nigeria.  There is no centralized bus service as in the United States.  Schools must either purchase and maintain their own vehicles or count on children walking to school or parental drop-off.  ​

Teacher commitment and dedication at Graceland International School.

This photo, taken at the Graceland International School in Gusau at approximately 7PM. In the in a click of the camera’s shutter is captured the endearing commitment and dedication of one of the many staff members at Graceland. Without reliable electricity this is the only way to mark and review student work. 
Picture
​Although peaceful and serene, it belies the daily struggle that dedicated teachers face every day, since the only light available to this staff member was that which was under the portico. But It is also emblematic of the joy and grace that visitors encounter when interacting with the vast majority of Nigerians.  

Photo and Caption by Bob and Mary Dorland.  Bob and Mary visited Nigeria in the fall of 2019, and spent time at Graceland International School and Graceland Hospital in Gusau.

Just imagine . . .

3/5/2020

It’s hard for us to imagine living in our homes without safe, clean drinking water and flushable toilets. What if you had to send your child out every day to collect water for domestic use? And what if the closest source of water was a polluted pond, stream or river, more than a mile away?

Picture
One-third of Nigerians have no access to clean drinking water. This photo was sent to us from one of our partners in Nigeria to illustrate the need for clean drinking water in Nigeria. Acknowledgement: The photo was taken by Genuine Ernest Bishop Ahiabli, to show the dire need for clean drinking water in the village of Akpatoeme in the Ketu North Municipality In Ghana.
