Duunyin Village Elementary School

We went with Emelia, from Anfaani Children's Home to Duunyin Village to visit the elementary school there. Duunyin Village was the birth place of the first baby to come to Anfaani. There are 180 students and six teachers in this small school. Duunyin Village is a Dagomba village, and the people are very poor. It is located 12 K South of Tamale. The children and the teachers were excited and pleased to see us. The headmaster is a man named James.

Here are the same children that were photographed in November all looking well. In the second picture the little girl pointing is the one who had a sty on her eye last November.

Makafui has wheels to carry the good news

This is Makafui Nyatuame a graduate of the Northern Ghana Baptist Theological Seminary. He helped us last spring in planting three new churches. He now pastors 4 churches and was walking to them each Sunday, a total of about 25 miles in all.
