On The Ground Report from Abidjan, Ivory Coast
FUNDING UPDATE: Since the beginning of the Ivory Coast crisis, ICOC churches have committed more than $500,000 to support HOPE worldwide's relief and recovery efforts in Abidjan and surrounding neighborhoods and communities.
As we stand on the rubble of their destroyed dormitory, the students are discussing all of the challenges they face at the University of Abidjan. But thanks to the support raised over the past few months, 450 disciple campus students who had lost everything now have shelter, food and water. Soldiers are spread out across campus. Many of the students I’ve met are still traumatized by the fighting and killing that they saw on campus in April and May. HOPE worldwide is providing counseling to help them recover. In an effort to recover financially the students want to develop a small business center to make money, maybe several cellphone centers near campus, or a car wash and restaurant.
