Togo: Day 6 (2014)

Our Team

Bonjour mes amis.

Halfway done and it has been a blur of bedkits, travel, dust, heat and most importantly 2,500 happy kids. We have a great Sleeping Children team that is after an intensive week together meshing into the daily rhythm of distributions.

Lynette Jenkins is busy every day talking to the kids (in French) as she prepares them for the photo and always at hand is her sidekick, Wally the puppet, who ensures there are always peals of laughter from the children.

Wayne Cooper is clearly enjoying every moment with the kids, the crowds, the Togo experience and the good-natured kidding from the group.

Alice Buchanan and Peggy Morrison are the crowd entertainers and have the kids all joining in on the “warm up” songs.

Sue Orr is enjoying the range of experiences and tasks in a distribution including her first full day taking the photos of the kids with the bedkit.

Tomorrow, Sunday is our day off and the team is looking forward to an Easter Sunday church service, a walk on the beach looking out on the Atlantic and a little time to catch our breath. Whew!


Bon soir de Team Togo et Doug MacDougald
