Well the important thing is that Bob's deodorant arrived with him this year! Regards to Laurent and his team and all those wonderful children of Togo. Their smiles are priceless.
Good luck everyone! Can't wait for all the blog posts to come. I am sure they will bring back so many great memories of Togo for me. Enjoy all the smiling children! Say hello to everyone for me, please :) Megan Barclay
Do you feel Doug and me hovering??? Chanced upon Bob's 2012 Togo video story - wonderful - I feel almost as if I'm there. Also watched Bob's wonderdog video they're a good pair!
I surely hope everything is under control over there! Love and hugs to all.
We are wishing you a 'soft seat' ride to your first distribution. Be caeful you don't spend too much on 'groceries' in that heat. By the way - our ice from the storm has melted and the thermometer is noe above zero - just. Michael & Margaret in Port
Have fun with the first distribution! Ahh, the photo with Segnon in his nice shirt brings back memories, he's still looking good Wishing all the best Freddy
Hello all you wanderers. Have you hugged a kid today??? I would have missed you Bob but I have been busy. Saw my Mom and Tom and Aunt Hazel and Cousin Barb the last couple of days.Checked in for my flight to Shanghai and booked the limo, - amazing - I can do it without you, though I would rather not.LOL Sandra and I will keep an eye on you from Hangzhou. Hope sincerely that all goes well with your distributions this week.
Sounds like you are having a wonderful productive time. Thinking of you as it's Wed. & I will miss seeing all of you in the office today. We'll have tea & send happy thoughts to you.
Brings back lots of memories from 2011. Hope the new digs are working out and that the distributions continue smoothly. Sounds like smooth enough to explore a bit!
Looks like it is all going well, I love seeing the photos. Hopefully there will be no flat tires while you are out and about! Best wishes to the team and AED folk.
The colours are so wonderfully bright and so are the beautiful smiles on all the children and their families. Have fun and keep up the pace to give out 500 kits each day All the best Marian
Bob, Dan LInda. Carole & Judy, Great to see the photos - Happy that Carole and judy appear to be working - do wonder however about the rest of you! VERY quiet at the office. Fewer and fewer gIrl Girl GuIde cookies remain. Keep coolish. Hugs to all. Karen Shouldice
Bob, Linda, Dan, Carol & Judy: We wish you all the best as you rock and roll along the Togolese roads. We love the pictures and the stories that they tell. Cheers, Bill and Monika Sergeant
To SCAW Team Togo: Love the Rock & Roll theme! You could probably pull out your kazoos to help. 38 degrees in the shade - who needs air conditioning? Stay safe and give lots of hugs to those kids. You are KEEPING MURRAY'S DREAM ALIVE! Susan & Duncan.
Way to go Team Togo ! Great photos...such a treat to see the bright colours and smiling faces. Adds some sunshine to our dreary spring ! Enjoy !! Beth Poad
Hi Togo Team, great pictures can almost feel the heat in the air, from the music and the temperature, love the faces of the children. You are all doing a worthy job, stay safe, enjoy and have Fun too. Lorna Hedger Office volunteer
Team Togo. I don't see Bob dancing with the ladies this year???? But those children's expressions say it all! Fantastic job everyone! Thanks so much for sharing.
I must learn to read carefully . I first read the last posting as beginning, "Judy has pooped !" and wondered just how personal these posting should be!!! to cool you all down - think snow
No snow here in China but pretty dull and cool. Still no luggage but amazingly I am making do. Pizza Hut for supper last night.As usual you guys pictures are amazing. Of course the toilet/powder room is priceless.
hope Ghana was fun. Take care all, but of course especially Bob, Jan and Sandra
Hi team - A ceramic toilet at every distribution! What comfort! Keep up the good work as you all continue to spread joy and comfort. Margaret and Murray would be so proud.
Hey there Team Togo and Team AED. Looks like things are going well with this year's distributions. The photos bring back so many memories...does Gladys still lead "la parade a la toilette" in the mornings? Leslie must be so pleased to see her request still having such a place of honour! Love the photos...must be Bob Barclay photography... Enjoy every moment, every smile, every bit of warmth...still cold here! My best to all. Janice
Judy and team, we are watching and enjoying your journey - right along with you. The home visit is such an important part of knowing that our efforts are truly changing lives...not just one day on a distribution, but long lasting. May God continue to watch over you on your journey. Take care, Danielle and Masud (Bangladesh)
Freddy and I just returned from our trip to Stockholm. Our Fitbits got a good workout as we walked everywhere! We had wonderful weather and the city was beautiful. Love love LOVE the photos of the village! Really interesting to see. But I am missing a photo of my dad dancing... Megan
Keep up the good work! Felix is at Mother Goose story time and I am prepping for an audition for a Christmas movie tomorrow. Be nice to those chickens! we miss you
Glad to hear the rain didn't follow you. I miss those bumpy rides with Dosseh's head bouncing around as he sleeps. Passed the half way mark already, enjoy the final week! Hopefully Dan hasn't scared too many children this year. Freddy
Team Togo: Your photos of the distribution are fantastic. Keep up the wonderful work and enjoy every minute with the children. Have a continuous safe journey.
Felix and I would like to do a song exchange with the lovely children of Togo! We will keep rehearsing, but it will take a while to sound as good as that welcome... Everything is looking wonderful! Congratulations on all you've done so far Team Togo!
Did not see Bob working hard.....wasn't that him playing ball....and no where else to be seen....of course playing ball in that heat and humidity would be work for me! Sandra and I are doing fine.She starts her break tomorrow and has six days off in a row. We go to beautiful West Lake in Hangzhou for five of them. So life not too tough.
Well done Team Togo. I especially connected with the connections with the Allenby school here. It is an inspiration to all. Those young encounters will produce another generation of volunteers by opening their eyes to the human need around the globe.
Hi Togo Team, Your doing a great job I can see you sweating. Love the pictures of the school children brings back memories of Uganda. I'm ready for another trip. Make memories and enjoy your last few days and have a safe restful journey home.
Hello Team Togo! Although it has all been said in previous posts...I simply must commend each and every one of you again for sharing your most beautiful journey of love with us! Your pictures are incredible and those 'faces' of children, adults and of each of you show the sheer joy that is being shared...they in the receipt of their gift and you in the giving of the gift! It reminds me of a quote by Albert Einstein which reads..."The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving'...You are all so incredibly valuable!!! God bless you all!

Well done Team Togo. I especially connected with the connections with the Allenby school here. It is an inspiration to all. Those young encounters will produce another generation of volunteers by opening their eyes to the human need around the globe.
....and we worry about seatbelts....
Really enjoying the pictures! The bedkits are going to very deserving homes. Seats in that car look a little oversubscribed :)
