               DEDA OF SABO COMMUNITY The year 2017 is for sure the most tumultuous for the residence of Sabo community. Events that happened in the year alone are enough to make a lifetime history for generations to come.

    The SeasonsCaroline Hart, 11 years oldBy the time I stepped outside, the leaves were on fire.
