TERELI, MALI
photos	During the month of March 2006, a well was dug in Tereli, Mali, greatly assisting the Dogon people living in the escarpment. The finances raised by Paths of Native Africa were taken by our Projects Coordinator to the village, where Chief Dogolou Saye organized and oversaw the purchase of materials and the equitable imbursement of craftspeople and workers. The waters are available to all requiring; no one is denied.
Ikot Usen, NIGERIA
photos	During April 2005, our President revisited the village of Ikot Usen, Nigeria, to begin the project of brick making by which to start reconstruction of the secondary school. With funds donated to the soccer team, jerseys and balls were bought, and the goal posts restored. A 2,067 lb. shipment of four computers and academic and casual reading books was delivered to the secondary school at Ikot Usen in December 2006. This was made possible through support from the Steiner Foundation, the PoNA fundraiser Books to Africa, the San Francisco Library, and private donors. By the end of January 2007, two secured metal book chests with glass doors were built to protect the books. The books have been arranged and the cases placed in the room serving as the teachers' room, library, and office.
