"Uniforms"

One thing that women really enjoy doing in Niger is having a "uniform", that is, matching outfits. This usually happens on special occasions like weddings, naming ceremonies for a newborn, Christmas, Women's Fellowship conferences, and just because. Before I returned to Niger in February I asked Linda to have two outfits made for me. She decided one of those would be a "uniform" in celebration of my visit. So when we visited the churches and villages together we wore our "uniform". The women thought this was pretty special.

This is another occasion in 2004 when SIM Niger celebrated its 80th anniversary in Niger. Seen here is the PDI team (Integrated Development Program) enjoying the "uniform" for the celebration.

Galmi Day School students in "uniform" gave a musical and oral recital in March. They are amazing performers with incredible talents and expression. They really poured their hearts into singing songs of God's greatness.
