Today the constructions for a house for the miller of the corn mill and his family in Akpakpakpe has started. Even if big parts of the walls are made of soil, water and only a little bit of cement, we still have to completly carburise the floor and to fettle the walls.
On top, the roof has to be built out of wood and zinc. The World Bank has now financed kW high-tension current for our centre in Kemeni near Sokode , so we can finally offer our apprentices electrical machinery like saws and planing benches. What is left is the laying of the lines to the workshops and the installation of light, plug sockets etc.
To finance all of this, we need donators and appreciate all kinds of help. After a lot of sweat and work at the turn of the year, our newly built square for our container is now just waiting for its container, which will provide us machinery etc as well as stock ground.
Still waiting in Germany, our container is already excited to travel to Togo soon. We are looking forward to every donation and already say "Akpe kaka" Thank you. After the ceremony, Mister Sander also opened the newly built accommodations with a kitchen and two showers and the mill for corn that was donated by Togo-Hilfe e.
After three years of apprenticeship, the six tailors and one bar bender are now ready for the world of work on their own. Many people in Togo do not know about the danger of diabetes nor if they have this diseas so many people still die to it.
