Hi guys, so glad to hear that you have arrived safely. To mom (Leslie Banner), happy birthday. I hope you are celebrating, since this is a big one. I wish I was there to celebrate with you. Baby is eating icecream right now, and keeps saying more, of course. Tomorrow I head to Toronto for the Olympic reform conference. We will keep watching the blog to hear how you are all doing.
How is it that Grant manages to surround himself with beautiful women on SCAW distributions?
I am reading a Lonely Planet book about Africa and just enjoyed the piece about Togo. Hope you have a successful distribution helping those children who are so very needy!

Hello to the Togo Team,
Glad to hear that you have all arrived safely.
Say hello to last years folks from us.
The Holiday Monday here brought us a heavy frost so enjoy the warmth you have there.

Grant, Leslie and Team;
Glad to see you have arrived safely. Yes, I too am wondering how Grant can muster all the lovely female's on his trips????
Please give my best wishes to Mr. K (Kouma). Tell him I'd love to see him someday.
Be safe.

I believe this is the team on which Garnice and Jim Ware's three daughters are serving. Garnice and I were in the same residence at Acadia University for four year many years ago and she and I shared an apt. in Montreal for a year before her marriage. I'm sure the girl on Grant's left is one of the sisters and quite probably the one directly in front of his left hand - they look like their mother. They may remember that Garnice first heard of SCAW when Michael passed away and I sent a kit in his memory.
I remember visiting Togo about 35 years ago when my husband and I were in Nigeria with CIDA. Of the five countries we visited along the west coast of Africa at that time, we were most favourably impressed with Togo - possibly the French cuisine.
Best wishes for a most successful distribution.

Whoops - sorry I meant in front of Grant's right hand (as well as directly beside him on his left). Harolyn Panetta
Dear Ladies and (wink)Grant: Glad you have arrived safely and hope you had a wonderful first distribution today. Keep those blogs and photos coming!

Wishing you well and a great distribution. Please give my best wishes to Kouma and his wife,his daughter Debrah(spelling), Victor and all the gang. A special hello to Dosseh. He is like my 5th child from afar. Work hard and enjoy. You are doing great work. Carolyn
Hey mom!! Hope everything is going well. I'm glad you guys arrived safely. Dad and I did a lot in the back yard, he's leaving Wednesday night to go out and see Dave, im thinking its gonna be me taking him to the airport. Hope you guys all have a blast!
Good morning from Newmarket...everyone is back in house safe and sound - home from Kingston, London, and even 10 houses down the street where the dogs played together and two old guys drank a few beers, then watched Marley & Me and cried at the ending. Enjoy the special experience.
Hi Leslie, Grant and team,
Glad to see that you arrived safely and have already been having fun with the kids. We'll be watching you from Uganda!

Much love, Suzy
hello team Togo...Sounds like you guys are doing great,Isn't Frank a nice guy! Keep up up the good work team. Know that you are making a difference. dave weil
One week ago you walked nervously away into the airport, unsure of what laid ahead. Linda, your posting yesterday illustrates the reason why your mom wanted so passionately for the three of you to be there - to understand and experience the reward in helping others. Garnice (and Jim) would be so proud.
Mom, I am so proud to tell everyone why you're traveling in Africa. Everyone marvels about the incredible experience you must be having, and I can't help but wish that I will someday get to see first hand, exactly what they mean.
Hi Girls,
You all look great in the picture, Mike your right they must of flown business class!
Hope you guys are having are enjoying every moment out in Africa, and we can't wait to hear all the stories
Mom, all is well at home, im basically sleeping, breathing, eating and studying, getting ready for exams. (Ali)

Cheers!

Hey girls! Here I sit on my deck with Michael, "young" Dave and "old" Dave after a great B-B-que and numerous cocktails. Sure wish I was with the three of you. Glad to see you are having a great time and I know that Mom & Dad are a major part of the trip as they are seeing everything through your eyes and your hearts.
Luv Gale, Dave, Dave and Michael

Hi JLK,
Had a good visit with Mike/Andy/Jo last evening enroute to meetings today in Montreal. Yesterday was chaotic with Evan back in town performing last nite, and Tara taking him back up north at who knows what hour (hopefully with dog in tow). We think of you guys every day and I'm sure it's with mixed feelings as the 4000 distribution winds down this week. See you.
Hey girls! This will be my second attempt to succesfully post a message! Everyone back home keeps asking about your adventure...can't wait to hear all the details! Your Mom is smiling down on the three of you...and reminding you to put on your sunscreen!
(: Sue
