What the week
actually looked like.
Monday opened with the closing report from Ojuelegba. Three families — eleven people in total — have been temporarily rehoused with the help of two community partners and forty-three of you who donated through last week's stream. We will follow them through the rest of the year.
Missions this week
Two missions ran. One closed cleanly. One is still open as we publish this.
Mission 06 — the Ojuelegba fire response — concluded on Wednesday afternoon. Mission 07 — the search for Olamide — opened tonight at 21:38 and is still live. If you can help, the stream is at the top of the homepage and the search team is meeting at the LASU bus stop.
New nominees this week
Four new people entered the Made Person pool. We have not named them publicly yet because we are still in the verification phase — but two of them are children, which is something we have not had before.
The smallest hands carry the heaviest weight.
— The Editors
We are starting to notice them.
Issue 04 went live
If you have not yet, please open it. It is short by traditional magazine standards — thirty-two pages — but every page was made for someone. Amara Okonkwo did not want this issue. We made it anyway, with her quiet permission, because the four people she carried out of that building should never be the only people who know what she did.
Next week
We open Mission 08 on Tuesday. We will not tell you what it is yet — we are still confirming the people involved. What we can say is this: it is the first time we are taking the cameras out of Lagos.
