Some pics. from Togo



There is a lot that I need to write in regard to my 4-day weekend in Togo but here is one little adventure I had.

I stayed at a centre called La Conscience that rescues children from child-trafficking. Awesome organization!!! Kodjo, the director, wanted me to take a tour of the two schools in the village of Ahepe. La Conscience has been providing money to the village to add more rooms to one school and helped funding for the construction of the newest school.

As we left one of the schools to go to the next, the truck suddenly jolted and something started dragging along the ground. Well, one of the springs on the suspension broke and the whole back suspension dropped to the ground.

In order to finish the tour, the driver flagged down a motorcycle taxi and I headed to the other school by bike. Much more fun than driving around in the SUV.



And when I arrived at the school this is one of the things I found...
