Togo: Day 13

Bonjour mes amis!

Today was the hottest and most humid so far. After 2 long detours because of preparations for the Togo Independence Day celebrations on Sunday, April 27, we arrived in Djamakondji for our 8th delivery.

We were swarmed by extremely enthusiastic throngs of children. Hijabs were prevalent indicating that we were in a predominantly Muslim area. While we were busy, so was a team of construction workers building 4 new classrooms.

We are very grateful for the members of Team Togo, who have worked consistently to have the kids organized. Energetic volunteer, Affi, always leads the rousing songs and chants. Koffi showed the bedkits items and 500 young people cheered spontaneously, especially when the mosquito net was held up.

We recorded video of different aspects of the distribution, but regrettably have been unable to post them because of internet challenges.

Stay tuned…

Bon soir de Team Togo.
