Charles is currently still in training in Agou Tomegbe which is about 50 kilometers north to northeast of the capital. He is living with a family in 2 rooms both of which have electricity, a hanging light bulb. The water well is close by and his latrine is working. The “father” at the airport in Lome and his wife Elizabeth is Charles’ current “mother”. She has a set of twins who are 12, one boy and one girl.
Each day consists of classes, about 50% French language traing and 50% technical skills. After training his assignment will be in a town of less than 1000, which is about 5 kilometers from the regional capital of Dapaong the northernmost city in the very northwest of Togo (638 kilometers from the capital of Lome on the coast). They are in the process of finishing his living quarters there (actually repairing) and he will go there for a few days next week. He then returns to training in Agou and if all goes according to plan he will complete the training in early December.
