These kids are using the river for a little playtime. This is just 1/2 block from the temple in Aba. This little spot is used for washing clothes, cars, and bodies as well. 

These kids are on one of their daily treks to get water for their families. They sometimes have to go a long way. This is why one of the Church's main iniatives is to dig bore holes for the villages. That way, these children can go to school instead of spend their days hauling water such long distances 

This is how a well (or bore hole) is hand dug. Some of them have to go down 50-80 feet to hit good water. It is all done by manual labor 

These Africans are hand digging the bore hole that will bring water to this village. Notice the muscles on these guys - they don't need to work out - they just work...African style. There isn't an ounce of fat on those bodies. 

Some places are lucky enough to have wells that can store their water 

Here is one of the ultimate aims of all that drilling, storing, and carrying of water just so little guys like this one can have a bath in the comfort of his own home. 

Who wouldn't love this face? The following pictures are some of the most beautiful faces of Nigeria - the children. Elder Porter was able to capture some of their beautiful and revealing expressions.

Waiting on the doorsteps of life. 

Precious children 

A smile worth a million bucks! 

It's easy to gather children. Just pull out a camera 

Why do women always get the heavy loads? 

Boys of the 'hood, some shy, some wary, some happy, some cautious. 

Curious faces. 

Learning to boogie in Nigeria. These kids have the moves down. 

Loving' to dance. 

Learning to work. Everyone works in the village even the tiny ones. 

The village women. They love to dress in the same dresses. Aren't they a beautiful sight? 

These boys are "hawking" water to passer-bys. They all learn to work hard at an early age. 

Let's be modest...these boys are definitely not shivering from the cold.
