Imalolé

On a Nomad Adventures humanitarian tour in March, Jill Townsend visited the community at Imalole where we had started a cereal bank. She saw the women working to build an adobe building to house the grain. They were in the process of shoveling the clay, making bricks, stacking and mortaring them. The house was going up before our eyes.

We purchased them a cart to help with their labor. Seeing how hard this community's women were working we asked them what they needed for the future. The first thing they asked for was mouse poison to try to keep the mice from eating their precious stored grain. Gaining confidence--something that comes naturally for these women who are known throughout their land for the songs they compose and sing to encourage their people to protect and cherish their traditions, and to stand up for their rights to protect their own territory--they said they need a new well and a school. They now have a school building which was built by the government and never staffed. It needs repair. They need supplies, an teacher, school lunches for the children.

School building at Imalole needs roof repairs Jill with the chief Aghali in front of the school.

WHAT THEY NEED

Please help these kids go to school.
