Current Weather:
Internet connections in Togo run rather slowly even compared to Canadian dialup according to a brief report sent to us this morning. The flight from Paris was good and the team arrived at 5:30 am local time which is only three hours ahead of Toronto and two hours behind Paris.Since it's the first time SCAW has had a bedkit distribution in Togo we have no previous experiences to draw on. It is all new to us. But first impressions are very favourable. Accommodation is very good with each team member having their own room with bathroom and air conditioning. The team bought food at a supermarket this morning and spent CFA25,000 (about $50 CDN) so they'll have breakfast supplies for the next four or five days. The temperature is about the same as Toronto but a bit humid.
They did a quick orentation tour of Lome this morning with Mr. DEKALIKAN Kouma from our Overseas Volunteer Organization, Action Enfance et Développement-TOGO (AED-TOGO), along with his wife Gladys. Everything is organized for the first distribution tomorrow.
"Mr. DEKALIKAN Kouma did a great job. The bedkit looks fabulous," they told us. More posts will follow as we receive them.
