Togo: Tabligbo & Kovie

Fifth Day

Today was another hot and humid day. We arrived in Tabligbo and were again welcomed by colourfully dressed adults and children dancing in the shade surrounded by a large number of fellow villagers. We joined them after a few minutes. Not only is this daily dancing fun but it helps burning the extra calories from the superb meals that Bill cooks for us every day!

The distribution went well despite some difficulties in getting all the bedkits to the site. But, as always, Laurent and his team, assisted by our team leader Bob Barclay, figured out how to manage this difficulty.

All’s well that ends well.
 
Sixth Day
 
Today we just had time to finish our distribution in Kovie before it started raining goats and chickens (cats and dogs!).

We really felt bad for the many families who had left the site and had a long walk home. This afternoon we went to Mercy Children’s Home, an orphanage close to where we stay in Lome and which supports 93 orphans.

It was a moving experience for us all.
