DENVER/BAUCHI COMMUNITY

Through this project, we all hope to gain a sense of personal satisfaction for helping others. That is going to be the greatest reward by far for all of us. We also hope to improve ourselves in each of our weak aspects, such as procrastination. We hope not only to help the world, but also improve ourselves while pursuing this project.

In Birhshi, Hamza is a local farmer, with no skill but farming. With the little he has, Hamza sponsored one of his children through secondary school.
