With much joy in my heart Togo, I welcome my little sister Ibada and her colleague, Abide, who are visiting the USA for one month after 10 years of trying to obtain a visa for them to visit. To me, these two young ladies represent what Alaffia fights for, as they are young Africans dedicating their lives for the betterment of our communities. Please join me in welcoming them with these photos taken a few hours ago at the Seattle airport. We will be travelling for the next few weeks and hope to see as many of you as possible. During their time in the USA, it is my hope they see the kindness and support that each one of you give to Alaffia that enables them to conduct their efforts in Togo. Humbly yours, Olowo-ndjo Tchala ----------------------------------------------------- Ibada Tchala is the Community Projects Coordinator for the Alaffia Cooperative in Togo.
