Togo: Hot!

Bonjour mes amis:

IT WAS HOT; 31 degrees with a real feel of 39 degrees!  We went to the east side of Togo but the roads were a bit more challenging as it was more pothole than road. The distribution was at a school in Kpeteto (pronounced Pe-tet-o), and the site was close to the Benin border.

We were greeted with exuberant Togo music and energetic dancers. The African rhythms were infectious and the team joined in joyfully. The crowd roared with enthusiasm at our feeble attempt to follow the steps.

The team’s challenge today was to do a group photo shoot of 430 children.  Thanks to Sherway Gardens Christmas Experience and our intrepid leader who climbed up a rickety ladder with a wide angle lens to take the photo, we were successful. The children were sooooo… patient as we tried to organize them for SCAW’s largest-to-date group photo. Make sure to check out this remarkable, colorful event.

We ended the day with a wonderful stop alongside Lake Togo. We were able to relax with a beautiful view and a cooling walk along the beach.

Bonsoir de Team Togo.
