BRiCC Graduation

Yesterday was a big day in the life of BRiCC (www.briccjos.com). The first group of women to complete their skills course in our new premises celebrated their graduation.  There was laughter, special guests, including our zonal commander of the security forces (it's becoming commonplace when I go to events here to see a man with a gun keeping watch - we don't get that in England but in Nigeria it's a fact of life), proud husbands and a great variety of delicious food as the women showed off their new talents.  Above all there was hope, hope that the local communities of Christians and Muslims will build a way of peace; living and learning together, showing their children that there is more that unites us as humans than divides.
