View right outside of our compound. Do you see all the motorbikes? They are called "achabas" and are EVERYWHERE!

We live on the Evangel Hospital compound. To get to our house, you would need to go through the hospital gates and pass the hospital (main hospital, maternity ward, VVF clinic, Spring of Hope counseling center, etc.) then go through another gate for the residential area. Both gates are guarded 24/7 and the walls are topped with razor wire. It is a sign of this day and age, I guess. We have many children on our compound. All the children on the compound now are Nigerian except for our girls. It isn't uncommon for us to look out the window and see more than 15 Nigerian kids playing with the girls. They have been building mud forts, planning a garden, chasing the residential goats, chickens and dogs, and quizzing each other on English/Hausa knowledge.
