A Presentation in a neighboring village on Moringa Trees. Moringa is called a miracle tree by volunteers. Its very healthy to eat the leaves, can be easily planted and cared for, and improve the soil. But most people don't know about them so we try to plant many and educate the community as much as possible.

A pretty good turn-out at this presentation
My buddy James on his birthday with a bunch of kids in his village. Like me, James must deal with kids constantly coming into his yard looking through his screen door and windows. I was changing clothes one time in the front room of his house and as buttoned my pants I look over to see a little boy curiously looking through the bars of James window. "Uh James, I think your little neighbor just saw me naked." Lesson Learned.

A dirty creek, one of many you find out in the bush. Most of the time their are stepping stones or a small plank of wood to cross, sometimes you just gotta get wet and hope the snail fever stays away.

Thanks for posting the awesome pics. It's hard to believe you've been in Togo for over a year! I have seriously enjoyed your blog. Well done buddy. Hope to see you while you're back in the US for the holidays! Take care and keep those sweet blog posts coming in the coming year.
Love,

Africa is almost unique.
I love the photos
Hi, Grant--
This is James's dad. He told me about your blog on the phone this morning and I've been reading and really enjoying it. Thanks for posting pictures of James. I'd love it if you'd do a little post about Sergebene for us; Ted (that's what we call him here) hasn't done a blog, so we or sent a whole lot of pictures.
Great blog! Keep it up. We'll follow it here in California.
