This is the street in front of our house.  As you can see we have a "trough" that runs along the wall opposite to our place.  This helps during rainy season but overall it does little in terms of aromatic appeal.  

This is our main classroom.  Have been grateful for the fans and the fact that we can open the doors for some air.  It does get very hot.  Only problem is quantity of flies that come in and lizards that keep entering.  Talking to students it is much better than the public school classrooms where there are frequently up to 80 students crammed into a small room with no ventilation.  Hard to keep focus in those situations.  In the grey cabinet we have our English book library where students borrow books for two weeks to aid in their learning.  Grateful to those folks who supplied the books.

The classroom is in the garage.  A rarity in Niger but a blessing for us.  When the classroom is occupied Grace will use the area next to the car, under the mango tree, as a classroom setting.  On the wall to the right of the car there is actually a big blackboard.  Our resident family makes good use of the blackboard in doing their homework.

Between Hausa literacy, English and computer literacy we are currently running 22 teaching sessions a week.  Grace is going to start an Art club ministry very soon.  We have seen some very talented work from some students.

Blessings to all
