I’m just driving on the road to my ministry project. &#8216;I met a young man, Mauricio, walking who is one of my helpers. He’s walking to school. Something he does 5 days a week. His class starts at 1pm. <br>&#8216;This is one of the reasons that the Nyneka people who we are serving are among the most marginalized people groups in Angola. They lack access to education.&#8217;</p>
