Results tagged “poverty” from Birmingham Mail - Faraz Yousufzai Blog

My good buddy Atallah Fitzgibbon has been in the troubled land of Chad since last Tuesday. He's there with Islamic Relief, the Birmingham based international charity, supporting their much needed relief work across Africa. Been trying to get in touch with him to make sure he was ok.

Thankfully this morning I got a text from him saying that they had escaped to Cameroon unscathed, had crossed Nigeria into Niger and are now heading for Niamey, its Capital.

He's back later this week and has even promised to make band practice on Friday night. Bless him. What a guy!
