Merry Christmas from Koro!!

At this season of Christmas we have more than many reasons to say BIG THANKS to God and to you.


When we look at our journey together for this year, we clearly see that we have accomplished tremendous things by the grace of God. So much has been done including:

• 3 new classrooms on the second floor, almost finished,
• Phase three of the construction has started, 3 more classrooms on the third story have started with the bricks. This will allow one nice finishing for the second and the third story. It may be the tallest building in the town of Koro. This building is a pride to everyone here in Koro.
• School nurse that is providing the first health care some students and directing and following treatment of advanced malaria and other diseases.

• Drilled well in a place where water is very critically needed.
• 163 students who are experiencing a great academic teaching and learning much about God who is love.
• And more . . .

On top of this non exhaustive list, God has been very good to us by:

• Giving us healthy and growing baby, Ediouko Ester Kodio. She is a great source of joy to us.
• Giving us a paved road in Koro!!!! 

Despite the dust it is generating, the paving road project is welcomed with great gratitude.
Since 1890 the road of Ouahigua –Koro-Mopti is known as a road of fish. The Niger River provided much fish that was exported through Koro to Burkina Faso. Some time in between 1967 and 1989 this road was one of the 4 most important import-export road for our landlocked country. But again it stayed unpaved till this year. I looked at this project as too big for me to be praying for, but some time I did while going through the rough and pain passengers are submitted to. The Lord hears our unexpressed prayers, our grooming. Your prayers for us made something changed and the road is getting paved!!!  It reminds me of the promise in Ezekiel 49:11; “I will make road on all my mountains. . . “
 We have seen and are grateful for the great improve in Koro these few years even though the remaining path to development is long way to go.
We appreciate and are thankful for your partnership with us in the year 2016 and are highly looking forward to your renewed support this coming year 2017. Please help us continue to bring bright and life saving education to kids among the most disadvantaged ones in the world. Happy New Year 2017!!!

Your friend,
