Togo: Day 3

From Togo Photo Album 2009
Today we distributed at a beautiful rural school setting north of Lome. We met a community of gentle caregivers who welcomed us to their local school. It was an exceptional day.

It was our privilege to interview two student recipients, two mothers, one teacher, and one father. Kathy Ware expertly led the conversation with these people that gave us a better insight into those things in the bedkit that were valued most. We also gained a precious insight into those bedkit items that may even have greater meaning for them in the future.

This process was facilitated by Segnon, a young Togolese volunteer who made it possible for us to understand the interests of our recipients. This is a process that excites our team as we watch the empowerment of our recipients.

Our donors should share in this feeling of success in the knowledge that each one of their dollars is being spent in the most effective manner.
