The rest of the group


has made it to Hope House. But before making the final drive to Zaria a stop was planned at ACCIF "All Children Charity International Foundation" in Kaduna. It is a NGO whose mission is to help children with disabilities.




Next stop in Kaduna was at the government run school
"Kaduna State School" which serves deaf and blind children. With an enrollment that is growing daily the children live in tough conditions. Current school population is around 1200 children. It is said that sometimes a child is just dropped off at the school and never picked up again.
Here Brad and Paul are interacting with some of the deaf children in the compound.



This is the 'kitchen' and the pots contain a porridge that will be today's lunch.







Now the team is at Hope House Sunday afternoon. They were delighted to see the all the improvements and have a shower. After a delicious meal together they went to work finalizing plans for this week's conference. Of course with the road warrior look it was early to bed.
