Monday 17 May

These are the days of Florence and Damien ... it goes too fast!
The day begins in the rain so no electricity. Difficult in these conditions to the weekly meeting ... We wait and then decide to cancel the meeting because we will not be on site this week. Mary feels very tired and amoebas take the opportunity to regain strength, so it will be enforced for her nap while the others go to the house on the hill. There, Damien and Florence plant their tree. To them back now to take care!


Then the whole team, Mary including truck mounted on Mount Kloto. They will visit a school in the village of Kuma Bala (last village before the border of Ghana). This school is faced with significant financial and material resources. The kindergarten collapsed after heavy rain and nobody can trace. CIA brings so few donations and promised to help. This is Damien and Florence will first building block. Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then, the last evening in the center; festive meal prepared by our culinary guide Kossi and we find ourselves at the bar ...

A site exceptional to the authenticity of local people for their traditional habitat: the Takienta. These are two-storey houses with terrace room and attic. The site is very authentic but tourists are quickly identifiable, which is not necessarily pleasant, especially ... for women ... With their driver Orlando, tourists come visit a traditional market called "market-stone" because each has its own stone setting.

From job, still work, even work! !
We decide to run away in the afternoon to the south of Togo and take a step back ... and most of all have a little privacy! !
We arrived after a somewhat difficult route (first motorcycle accident in front of us ... hard to leave someone on the roadside but it must not stop here ...). Hostel Oasis Aného: Wow! ! ! ! a straw hut on the edge of the sea, quiet, romantic! ! !
The dream! ! !



Saturday May 1st

We've enjoyed the site in the morning: swimming, pineapple juice in the coconut! ! Yippee! ! Check
to Lome but want lunch on the road overlooking the sea where we want to go is besieged by a cheering crowd celebrating May 1 (everything here is cause for celebration!). we prefer to look calm and go back in the truck. And there is the drama. The truck is silted up and not only half ... half past one to get him out with the crowd that mocks Yovohs ... not very cool, hopefully we as children spin a hand with a big brother .. We're doing
not without a good sweat (it is noon in full sun!): Ysel is red! !
's it, we go and find a quiet place for lunch. Direction the Ghana border and customs to let pass the truck. Well, the boss is not there, wait a quarter of an hour ... which turns into 45 minutes ... and it's good for another month. Now, departure airport to find Damien and Florence: Hurray! ! !



They arrived in great shape and we drive directly to the CIA center. The evening
sound system at the center is not really a success: people are too celebrated during the day May 1 and have more strength especially since there is power outage. It does not prevent us from leaving the red wine and sausage for the arrival of yovohs, without forgetting the traditional sodabi!


Sunday, May 2

First day at the center for our friends! What family! !
Damien is immediately put to work by Kasa to review the system and rebuild a site for the CIA.

dinner with Lazarus in Yovohs ago ... good! !
