True, a similar church in developed countries would cost millions. But they still require a good USD50,000 to complete it, so that's more than 'a little', and they can't help themselves, they need our support. Once the church is built they will still need more for the construction of a priory.

They are making good progress, here are the latest photos:

Finding a rat among the rubble during a working bee was a cause of great joy for the children who were relishing the thought of eating it for dinner.

This is how AI answered my question asking if rat is a delicacy in Nigeria:
Yes, rat, particularly the giant African rat, is considered a delicacy in certain parts of Nigeria. It is often prepared as a roasted or dried snack and is a popular form of bushmeat, though it can be more expensive than other meats like beef or fish due to its popularity.
