“My name is Ali Mhamadou. I come from a village called Todon near Guecheme. My parents sent me here to Dosso to study the Koran. I discovered the feeding center in Dosso a year ago. Before I started coming to this center, I struggled to eat because I had to beg on the streets for money to get something to eat. So it is with joy that I attend every program that the feeding center offers because I can eat well for free. In addition to that, I have made new friends at the center that I play with each time I am there. This makes me very happy.

I also love the Bible stories we are told and the Bible verses we are taught. My favorite story is the story of the birth of the Lord Jesus, especially the place where the angel comes to speak to Mary. I want to thank everyone who helps us begging children by allowing us to have these free meals that we are given.”
