You gave us hope we never had.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dalhatu and his team have not forgotten. But they are in a moment of crisis, and they need our united support.

But we\u2019re asking:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"box_bottomMargin1 box_verticalPadded1 box_horizontalPadded6 text_fontSizeLarger col_ggPrimary1Text\"><p>\u201cDon&#8217;t turn away from the community builders who are holding the line.
