A. T. Nigeria

A brother in northern Nigeria who embraced Islam in 2010 hopes his first Umrah will be a deeply personal journey: to pray before Allah's House, seek forgiveness, and make du'a for his family and for those struggling around him. He cannot contribute toward the cost. He holds a passport, can reach the departure airport, and hopes to join the November group. A full seat on the at-cost group trip is $1,795; a share is $450.
