Togo: Day 3 (2014)

Day 3 at Tsiko

Bonjour mes amis.

We woke to a clear, blue sky day which when we congregated early in the morning on our balcony suggested a very hot and steamy distribution. But to our surprise we found a wonderfully shaded schoolyard for kids, parent and the Sleeping Children Around The World for the Togolese and Canadian team.

As part of our commitment to Sleeping Children’s mission we started some interviews with parents of children receiving bedkits. We want ongoing feedback on bedkit quality and product suitability of the items for the specific country and distribution.
Some of the team is interacting in this distribution almost entirely in French and the rest of are in an impossibly stressful French immersion. It is working!
We visited a village immediately beside the school and we were welcomed, by a family whose child received a bedkit today. They truly are deserving and an item like mosquito net is an essential need. Some of the pictures we posted reflect this home, family and village.
On the return back to Lome we stopped at what we are quite sure is the world’s largest termite hill for a photo op with the three very keen and helpful volunteers, traveling with us.
Bon soir de Team Togo
