My daughter, Lara, has arrived home from Togo! She will be here for a three week visit and then will be returning to complete her second year of teaching in Mango, Togo, West Africa, with the Peace Corps. I am so blessed with her in my life! The people of her village are so kind and wonderful to her. She is happy to be home and already gathering gifts and things for her new friends in Togo. She is so HAPPY and FULL of LIFE! I find it wonderful to see her love and appreciation of another culture and her desire and ability to work with others. Her Togolese friends have been so supportive and welcoming and together they are working in the school community. It is wonderful to hear her speak of their triumphs and challenges and willingness to more forward in hope! You can read a MESSAGE from Lara as you continue reading this post.
Clearly a brave and good woman..the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Bless your great work, Lara!
