Togo: Day 4

Day Four: a long drive of 178 kilometers one way past goat markets, mountains, and small rural villages. We were again greeted enthusiastically by dancers. We joined in after a while with parents showing appreciation more by laughing than applause proving us white guys really can't dance!

We also got to know the community a bit better as we were introduced to the village chief and queen. Bob signed the guest book and they expressed their appreciation for our efforts in the blazing heat (at least 36 degrees Celsius).

We didn't set a record, but we did photograph one group of fifty children! (Click on photo above.)

Chris interviewed three families which confirmed why we are here. "My children have only slept on palm leaves until today."
Before getting too far home, we stopped in Tove to visit three families who had received bedkits last year.

They were very much intact and in use. Exercise books were full. Khaki was turned into dresses. Mattresses and mosquito nets were in use.
