A Big Thank-You!


On behalf of myself, Jennifer Blouin, and, according to the chief of Mai Lafiya, THANK YOU!

We were able to raise over $800 to help support the grain bank. The money has been received and the bank cooperative is in the process of purchasing grain (also potentially considering enlarging the storage facility!).

I will try to figure out a way to get some pictures. :-)

The chief, Ali, has said that this year's harvest was okay, which is good news. By contributing to the grain bank, you have helped enhance an incredibly important community institution that will help buffer the community from future food shortages. (It's also given me greater peace of mind!)

Again, my sincerest thanks.
