My “Nigerian Family Visit”



Today was so lovely, I looked after my friend Mercy’s children and I loved it, I was sad to take them home!

I’ve kind of adopted a family over here! Mercy works at GPI and is the mum of my bestest friend Peace! She has three other children, Blessing, Peter and Ruth. All four children came to visit me at my house and we had a great time together watching Nanny NcPhee, playing piggy in the middle, chased after bubbles, painted out toenails and ate omelets, indomie and cake! Seeing the children laugh and have fun was great. They were so well behaved and sat enthralled during the movie.

It was a pleasure to have them and I can’t wait to arrange another visit!

GPI Social Work activity

As part of the Sunday lessons programme, the last year group (level 3) have to complete social work in a rural community. This involves a needs assessment to identify the issues affecting that community and then a planned intervention to pass on information to that community.

It was a great, fun and informative day, with many people stating they will no longer practice FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) and that they feel more confident abstaining from early sex.




Me and some of the GPI girls!
