Lovely day meeting a friend at Washington’s Union Station. Lots of families and individual travelers and a nice craft market. All being guarded by armed US military. How/when did we turn into a military state?

I am so proud of the work of JRS Nigeria. With the support of JRS/USA, the team provides education and hygiene support to about 400 students in an IDP camp.

“The arrival of JRS…was a dream come true for me,” the head teacher said.
