Hi everyone

Welcome to this weeks blog! 

Ekabo (welcome) to this week’s blog! So I am happy to report that my home sickness is gone and I am really enjoying my time here in Nigeria .In my previous posts I have failed to mention some of the work we undertake at Chiprom, Chiprom in an orphanage/transition home for children of any age who are at risk, have been abandoned or have been orphaned. In Chiprom at present there are 16 children in total their ages range from 1yr to 15yrs old.

Hi everyone

I just want to start this blog with an apology. I would like to apologize to Hotpoint, Boosch and every other washing machine manufacturer. I have used and abused your technology for the last 23yrs and never stopped to thank you so thank you and I will not forget  you again in fact I love my washing machine. This washing clothes by hand is not something I wish to continue on my returned to Ireland.

Hi everyone back in Ireland. Nigeria is crazy. I arrived last Wednesday with Karen another volunteer from EIL, we landed in Lagos and minute you walk out the door you know you in another world. We walked to the car park were we changed money on the Black market it was scary stuff we the drove through Lagos and I have never seen so many people. I heard there are 17 million people in Lagos I think I seen them all. We then stayed in a 5* hotel thank you EIL, It was lovely.
