Here we have the story of a father and mother who went to Niger, West Africa with two small children in 1950, and over the next nine years had four more children - Roland was number one, Lance followed, and then there were Cheryl, John, Suzanne and Pamela. All six children were raised on the southern edge of the Sahara desert with dad and mom, Dr. Burt and Ruth Long. Galmi, Niger, West Africa was their home. One by one they left to go to our SIM missionary kids' school in Jos, Nigeria, but always came home to Galmi for the holidays. Dr. Long was the founder and first doctor of the Galmi Hospital in Niger. -You will read about early struggles and later victories. The text was taken from letters sent home to family and kept by Ruth's sister, Frances, who .saved them all and returned them to us when we retired. The last few chapters deal with our return trips to West Africa in our retirement years. There were two trips to ELWA, Liberia, one trip to Chad, three trips to Nigeria and three trips back home to Galmi, Niger.
