Biography

Albert is described as a respectful, intelligent, and reliable young man. He enjoys writing about inventions and his favorite subjects in school are history and literature. When he grows up, Albert hopes to be a journalist. He is preparing now for the West African Schools Certificate Examinations that will determine if he has the grades to enter college and study media communications to reach his goals.

A typical meal for Albert usually includes rice and cassava. Albert lives with his mother along with his three year old boy cousin in a mud and stick house. Albert’s mother teaches first grade at our COTN school and he helps out when venture teams visit.

Albert helps in church services at Mogbore, a nearby village. He sometimes preaches, teaches Sunday School and often prays in church. Please join us in praying for continued spiritual growth and blessings in Albert’s life.
