From Togo 2007 — Photo Album 1 |
- The adoption of children left without parents who have died of AIDS.
- Help children get their birth certificates. (If a birth certificate is not obtained within 30 days of the child’s birth it is very costly and time-consuming process in Togo.)
- Help supply water for women.
- Promote income-generating activities for women.
- Provide school supplies and pay school fees.
- Arrange Christmas parties, meals, and gifts for children.
The team’s first day in Togo was a day of relaxation and acclimatization, so we did the following:
- Went grocery shopping.
- Had a pre-distribution meeting with AED to plan for the next two weeks.
- Out for Lunch.
- Exchanged some US$ to Togo Francs (CFA’s) with a street vendor.
- Back to hotel for a siesta.
- Off to visit a small community made up of a church, two schools (primary & secondary), hospital and an orphanage in a very poor area of Togo.
