It is hard for me to believe but the dream of a family of 10 children and three grandchildren, led by a determined single mother, Oretha Togbah, to finish a store she started to build (had no walls) but was unable to finish after her husband abandoned the family seven years ago. The store is now over twice it's original size with a little help from me and a lot of hard work and savings by the entire family. I think I called this right.

| Boys digging out side of hill, and carrying cement for the floor. |
| Walls are of hand-made, sun-dried clay bricks, covered with a cement veneer. Metal roof and lumber need to be purchased. |
 |
| Almost finished with heavy metal security doors installed. |

| Open for business |
Dr. Nick's 2016
The original plan was to build an enclosed area in front since you couldn't do business during the rainy season. This addition was to be built with store profits. Little did I expect to see what the family had done, despite the seven month Ebola quarantined period.
