It is official. We have a signed agreement to rent a house in Maradi.
Admittedly, it needs a lot of work on the inside but we feel that this old house is very strong in structure.
We just had a crew of 4 ladies and one young man come in and clean this past Saturday. They got the whole place done in just over 3 hours. There was a lot of cleaning required. We think the house has been empty at least 2 years.
We like the neighborhood and feel that the house is well situated for us to continue our ministries in Hausa literacy, teaching English as a foreign language and doing Kids Club plus other ministries. We are very close to a large school and university.
Down the road a ways from us is UNICEF. The street is in fact called UNICEF Street.
Here are some initial pictures from the outside and inside.
There are a lot of mature trees that will provide much shade relief to the house. Today it is 106 degrees.
As stated, a lot of work is required. We hope to start this week.
