We met two girls in the Peace Corps, Alicia and Mary, who
came to the technical school with us and to lunch at the principal’s
house. They had been there for a few
years so they knew the local language, how to eat with your hands, and all
things Togolese. It was interesting to
see how they were so acclimated and used to the life style. Their project is helping a local program
called PromoHandicap to “provide a basic service and education to the blind,
deaf, and mute children of the Keran Prefecture in Togo, West Africa; to help
alter the public opinion that these children have no value or function in
society, and to provide them with a safe and secure environment to learn.” This program is important because special
needs schools are usually far away and too expensive for students to attend.
