Despite being cloudy all day, the sunny smiles on the faces of the children, brightened the day.
For the 500 children of Agbessia, Togo and surrounding area, today was a 'Great' Friday.
Today is Good Friday. As we were driving home from our distribution we observed many church processions along the roadway. Some with large crowds others with just a few villagers. This picture was taken in Keve, a town north of Lome. It is of a Good Friday procession of over 300 people, walking from the local park along a major highway to the church. The police were directing traffic, thank goodness.
This girl received a bedkit today. She walked about 1 km back to her mother's fruit and vegetable stand after the distribution. Not only were they selling avocados, palm nuts, and bananas. but also the biggest snails that we have ever seen.
Helene loved visiting the Artisanal Atelier in Abgessia after today's distribution. It is home to dozens of Togolese artisans who make pottery, carve wood, paint pictures, make designer fabrics and musical instruments. Helene bought a Togolese 'Coro' (similar to a really fancy banjo) at the Artisan's Atelier. The maker of the instrument sold it directly to her and explained how her son should play it.
Team Togo on a unique tree after today's distribution.
