Glad to see that you arrived safely and were greeted by the OVO's with such enthusiasm. Everyone looks the same and those smiles are so indicative of what a great group!!Hugs to everyone and I look forward to more pictures and stories.
Bonjour, tout le monde!! So great to see your warm welcome and to know that you will be off on your first distribution tomorrow. I do hope that Nicholas has packed what is needed for the morning "parade", led by Gladys. Enjoy all the wonderful moments that lie ahead with the children. Hug them for me please!! Will be watching for more stories and photos. Keep cool..
Bob, you look smashing in your hat. Your colleagues look very happy to be with you in the picture. Hope all goes well, can't wait to hear about your adventures. Amanda
Bob, as good as you look in that hat I'm pretty sure it won't make the dress code at CV. Looks much warmer there than here. Snowed today. Really. Have a great visit. G
Hi Team Togo! Glad to read that all is well. Great photo and so many happy children! Cool hat, Bob! Wishing you and the team all the very best. Liz Vanderwater Tanzania 2009
Anne and Simon, We received your email and glad to hear you arrived safely and that all is well! Hope you are enjoying this experience! I bet those khaki hats are coming in handy in that 30 degree weather...
Hi Togo Team 2011 Sounds like all is going well...Way to go! You have not missed any Canadian Spring weather yet, so enjoy the warmth of Togo as well as the children Bleessings and Happy Easter Laura Harper
Way to go Team Togo! Hope all is treating you well, bet you're getting a lil' culture shock in the best of ways! Back in Toronto now, packing up for the journey, hope you have a great Easter - miss you tons Sophie C
Tuning in to your adventures brings sunshine to dreary southern Ontario -- raining again tonight. If smiles measure your success, then you're doing astronomical.
I was interested in hearing about the wonderful principal you met-but am not sure I'd want to be teaching in one of those open air classrooms! Have you seen any with school supplies yet?? Enjoy the children-and the amazing AED team -bonjour Laurent, Dosseh, Segnon et les autres!
Sounds like all is going well.Please say hi to all the gang. Its great to see all the familiar faces. Keep up your good work Carolyn ( team 2008 and 2010)
It's so nice to see the Togo dream living on! I'm sure Leslie will be glad to hear that the khaki materials was made into dresses. You are in good hands as are the Togo families. Looking forward to more updates.
It sounds like Team Togo and Team AED are once again bringing joy to the children of Togo. Am pleased to hear you were able to visit the Mercy Orphanage again-hope they enjoyed the items I was able to send thanks to the team. Keep up the great work... and keep hydrated!! Janice
Great hearing all about the Togo news. Thanks for the email updates Anne and Simon. Sounds like a great trip! PS. Big engagement news on the home front. Love Julie and Marie
Team Togo. Enjoying your Blogs. Please give Best Wishes to Kouma Dekalian ("Mr K") whom we hosted during our 2006 Tanzanian Dist..from Laura and Tom. We think of his complete dedication to the Children his group works with. Be safe and have a wonderful time. Cheers Tom Belton
Barclay brothers and their hats...remember to smile for all the pictures, even though you can't compete with the smiles of those beautiful children. Keep up the amazing work and a Happy Easter to the whole Togo Team! Dave is driving straight from Boston for a MacIsaac home cooked meal, we'll save you some lemon meringue pie!! Love Krista
News for Anne and Simon from home: 1. Marc and Fatiha are engaged! 2. Sophie and Kailee left for Alberta 3. Julie has pink eye 4. Carm's leg is 90% better! 5. Smokey had an accident on the turkish rug, oh no! She misses you guys too much I guess.
Enjoy your last week in Togo! The extended family says hello - we enjoyed Easter dinner at Louise's on Saturday.
Please pass greetings to Laurent and his team from Grant and Leslie. We enjoy your messages and the great pictures. We are pleased that your trip has been so successful. Leslie and I were concerned that Bob may have lost some of his luggage again this year...
Bring just a little of Togo's hot weather back to Canada with you (without the stifling humidity!!!)
Sounds like another successful trip! Exciting that you get to meet the village dignitaries and get dance lessons everywhere you go. Keep up the good work and we'll see you soon!
I'm picturing the fun, food and dancing at your farewell dinner - hope everyone had outfits made to wear for the occasion - looking forward to more photos. See you at the breakfast, Bob!
Félicitations on the completion of another successful Togo distribution. I'm sure you enjoyed all the children as well as getting to know the AED team-a very devoted group who love helping children as much as SCAW does. Well done! Safe home!
