I am a board member of FON, live in Southern Pines NC in US, served in Kano, at the gov't girls' school (now named a "college"), from Jan 1963 to Dec 1964. Along with 20 other "formers", I returned on 11 day tour in Nov 2008. The entity of Abuja is the single biggest change in that 44 year interval; some 4-lane roads come next, and for me (the only returnee familiar with Kano)-- the loss of the city wall. <br />There is an orthopaedic hospital in Kano -- opened 50 years ago this past Dec. There is/was in Nov 08, some building going on there in the most disappointing way possible -- if ever there were a location with possibility for solar installation, it would be that campus -- acres of sun-baked flat land in an enclosed setting, with tremendous energy needs -- for new surgical pavilion as well as non-updated wards -- <br />As you get into your work, and remember this note, I would be pleased to know that the needs at NOHDala were on your agency's list of projects.<br />Lucinda R BoydUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050150905258327288noreply@blogger.com
