The Harmattan is here with us!

It would be ironical to encounter this calamity without talking about it. From June we have been experiencing constant showers of rain which made life very comfortable. Alas!! Things have changed all of a sudden and there is no comfort any more.
The air is full of dust and the novices have been seriously hit with the disaster and some are coughing, sneezing or have both. To add salt to the injury, I understand it is just the beginning as the hamatter winds are expected to last for the next two months.
The plants are also not left behind. A thin layer of dust permanently covers the leaves thus making the breathing difficult for them. I presume, this problem is holistic as every living organism is being affected in one way or the other.
I hope that all of us will survive this wrath and profess God’s goodness. For those who will be visiting Tamale soon have courage.
