Ahumbe Village, Nigeria

With the ease of the lockdown imposed in several parts of Nigeria, a lot of activities have resumed and a new normal is being embraced. Consequently, the school in Ahumbe Village has resumed and students are back to learn. Our TCD worker took time out to give out facemasks to the students and taught them the proper way to use it. It was an exciting time for all students.

We have noted this does not come easily.
