independence day

Happy Independence Day Togo!!

Celebrating 50 years of independence!!

To commemorate the day, we in the wards sang along to African praise and worship while the patients eagerly and excitedly created their own Togolese flag made with green, yellow, and red construction paper. They glued on the stripes and cut out the single star. Their artwork is now proudly displayed above each of their beds. Mini colorful flags now decorate and brighten the wards, showcasing a bit of their pride and patriotism. :-)

We ended the shift most appropriately... the translators and some of the patients sang their nation's national anthem, and then we prayed together for the nation of Togo.

This beautiful nation, it is an honor to serve you and your people.

May you enjoy fifty more years!
