Bonjour mes amis.
Today we were in Wutegble, about an hour and a half from Lome. We were greeted again with beautiful drumming and dancing. Members of the team couldn’t resist joining in. Tomorrow we have a promise from all of the men on the Togolese and Canadian teams that they will be part of the dancing circle.
Many of the children started to walk to the site before dawn in order to receive their bedkits. Some did not have shoes and that shows how important the flip flops are to these families. As well, all of the parents who were interviewed today really appreciated the mosquito net for malaria prevention. Another important item is the school supplies because the parents feel it frees up their money for other household expenses.
We finished the distribution just in time as a torrential storm began and many families faced another walk home carrying the mattresses on their heads in the rain.
A wonderful day with the children from this area!
Bon soir de Team Togo.
