Togo: Agbessia

From Togo 2012

Hello from Lomé Togo!

Well today was our first distribution day and what a day it was with 500 bedkits delivered without a hitch! - not bad for "newbies" ;-)

We were treated to much enjoyable dancing and music by a wonderful welcoming group comprised of literally hundreds of children, parents, and of course our gracious Togelese partners.

As expected it is very warm and humid but not complaining from the weather back home. The only setback to date was a terrible exploding event with the ketchup bottle. Although Eleanor was actively involved she was not injured. Tomorrow is our first day off (code word for shopping, sleeping in and a church service). Today's drive to Agbessia was quite a long one -- about two hours from Lomé -- however, all eyes were wide open and impressed by the vegetation, and various sights. So strange but wonderful.

Needless to say, the kids are beautiful and absolutely great -- superbly well behaved and quick to smile!
