So it's been a week since we arrived at Yoh Agom 5 km from Kpalimé and already a lot of things in mind.
We started our week by the ritual Monday morning meeting of CIA. This allowed us to better introduce ourselves, to sort of Ame Ga Wu brings CIA (materially and financially) to clarify the expectations of everyone in this new adventure and plan our week. In our case, we found that first meeting very rich and constructive while being done very professionally.
From the afternoon, workshops were set up which continued throughout the week: Managing bicycles and mopeds, checking the working condition of the 4 fridges, hi fi recovery (no not know why, but it has more speakers than strings ..).
Tuesday morning was full of emotion ... The tradition here requires that we refer to the village chief before starting a project, and the notables. You have to come early, and to pay tribute to ancestors while enjoying the famous Sodabi, alcohol palm wine akin to a strong gut! Hard drive at 7am and at each meeting! We have a few drinks after the summer school to meet the director and teachers who were delighted to see so their memory Carine was strong. After a good nap, visit Kpalimé and research group for the evening of Saturday, the center forward. Wednesday, March 10
teams are formed to advance in every field: preparation and advertising of the evening to come, repair bikes and scooters ... Makafui Mary meets a village woman who cares for children and an American volunteer Sara; all three, they agree to set up workshops for children home on Wednesday afternoon with tutoring, sports animation, animation art and English. Remains convince teachers and especially parents of the benefit of the company. A meeting is desirable, which would also deliver donations from St. Madeleine School in Nantes for the village school.
The evening is small cinema in the central courtyard, nice!
Thursday 11 and Friday, March 12
Departing Ysel and Mary Lome to renew their visas. It was not until the next day to have it and come back every month ... at the same time, Lome by night, it's nice but not always easy to drive ...
We returned on Friday night though punctured by the evening and the heat during the road ...
Saturday, March 13
All morning, the team worked a rented house in the center with the help of Project Soul and Wu Ga which will allow it to expand. It's beautiful but there's work! All in good humor of course!
The afternoon is spent preparing for the evening but not for Mary, who feels that his body no longer follows ... Everything is ready to welcome the group on stage Dagbeneva that provides both musically and visually! A small regret, the rain of the afternoon slowed a few people and we do one thirty entries ...
Other regret, Mary saw nothing: his fatigue has turned into a high fever and that in huge stomach ache. And here we regret being at home! The whole night was very hard, unable to swallow or anything liquid or solid, it has sometimes even taken refuge in the shower next to the toilet to avoid him and go back ... and a constant pain with a fever over 40 ...
Sunday, March 14
Everyone is recovering slowly from his evening except Mary, ever ... people of central and Ysel concerned in seeing that the temperature and digestive problems do not diminish despite the drugs they ... decide to bring him to the clinic ... we'll detail, but a cure against malaria has been immediately given an antibiotic and intra venous glucose and to fight against dehydration ... And come back tomorrow to see the doctor and do the analysis.
night, the weekly meeting decided to organize the
week Monday, March 15
Clinic Mary Ysel. The examination reveals the presence of amoebae and abdominal infection. Ouch, ouch, ouch, shock treatment, but fortunately with no ill effects and no malaria! he must still wait a few days before returning to his strengths ... Do not believe when you said "here, the water you can drink! "
While Mary sits constraint, the projects progress: the development of the guesthouse in the very center and rooms for permanent residents of the association in the rented house.
