Unfortunately, school was not in session, as we were there during a spring break. We did get to look into all the classrooms and even meet some of the local island children. The school is on a little island along the river and right on the ocean shore. It is west of Lagos and took about an hour to get home (took a little longer to get there because we had to switch boats twice, I'm getting used to things not working right in Nigeria).
I took a lot of pictures and I hope to make it back again soon to visit the children!!
