An article a bit special because we're going on holiday !!!!!!
Before departure, you must adjust some formalities: meeting with the personalities of the village for good site preparation for rehabilitation of the village school of Yoh, a few tips for organizing the center's life with us because the President Also .... Lomé and direction!
We will seek volunteers but also tourists: it's the turn of Laurel, sister of Ysel to come visit us!
Some requirements for the preparation of the festival including the meeting with the President of Rotary Lome Zenith which assures us of his support for projects coming from the center ... it's not as obvious on the side of the Togolese government. We also meet Aziz Laurélie through which we offer a set of football jersey for the opening match of the festival there will be nice to CIA!


Small visit to our friend and his Dad Efa. It goes much better after his accident and it is with pleasure that we serve him good as he likes Guinness!


And drain! We walk for a few days with Laurélie around Lake Togo; make nice meeting and we rest!




For cons, the center, the work continues: Preparation

Festival Preparation .... It was just a little late .... And organization of camps and construction
A beautiful big party with the School of Kouma Bala organized by Damien from Nantes to celebrate the rehabilitation of the kindergarten. Thank you Damien!

June 28 to July 4

Monday, June 28

This morning, the ritual begins with meeting a little late because we have a surprise guest: Madame Petit Fûté!
She toured the country for the new edition and I think our work has borne fruit as it leaves with a smile full of nice comments!


Tuesday, June 29

Another surprise: we get a journalist, footballer, adopted son of the white queen (this is a Lyon who became chief of a village in Togo). He comes out our work because he has heard of our plans and encourages us to continue. Maybe we will meet soon Mum!
We must continue our work all the same and a tree to cut posts our entrance sign. However, it was not counting electric son. One wonders why there are so many power cuts in Togo. ...




Wednesday, June 30 The CIA team goes in search of bamboo for the roof of the scene that still leaks with straw ...
Ysel cracked and decided to buy a motorbike ... well what's left ... the artistic world is a world apart ... but what will he do??
the administrative side, we continue to seek sponsors to fund our festival but it is not easy for the fans!
the evening we invite Daniel and Kaza restaurant Macumba: a kind of balance dinner because we feel that the end is near ... and the summer coming, many things will change with the arrival of volunteers and CIA France.




Thursday, 1 July

We forgot to introduce the bride of F ... Y.. !
We continue work on the computer and the President is really into it to hold our festival! The sign
entry continues through the work of our artist Gustave!




Friday, July 2

While one team worked on the renovation of the closing of the center, Passi continues its repair tools and prepare models for Ysel batik. He wants his paintings reproduced on t-shirts. Mary remains in the office or behind the camera.
Good and great news: Children CM2 village had all their EDPS final exam required for entry into 6th. They came running to the center to celebrate!




Saturday, July 3

This is it, Mary will be able to drop the bar a bit because CIA has hired two girls to serve at the bar in anticipation of the arrival of tourists. This requires that Kaza and Mary reflect well on their time and think about their training.
Ysel continued his artistic and painted his painting in red firecracker. Fortunately Gad comes to help. But what does he do?
The evening was a failure because of the rain is disconcerting to see how each party might be different ... So we replions with Ysel to go to dinner.
