Abuja, Nigeria: On vacation with the children of Durumi

 
printable version



Durumi is the poorest part of Abuja. Here people live in barracks, or houses if they are fortunate. More often than not, the houses have been destroyed, the inhabitants moving away. It was precisely here that the Community of Sant’Egidio of Abuja opened a School of Peace, some time ago. 
 

This August in Durumi, together with their older friends, the children had the chance to hold celebrations and go on outings in order to better get to know the city.
