It was through him he found out that my heart was bloated and slightly affected my kidney. He put me on medication and advised me to slow down.  I have not been going round as I used to. I went to check on a school project and will be going to the Muslim-North on Tuesday 24th to see where we can drill a Well for the villagers. I want to do that myself with some of the leaders.
