Surprise! Food donation Many came and helped to clean up the area around the kindergarten; they had responded to a call that was addressed especially to the young, strong teenagers in Klologo. Due to Corona, the terrain had been unused for a long time, so some windblown debris had accumulated, and there was also some construction waste to be cleared away at the site of the kindergarten extension. We were told in Klologo that more young people came than expected, more even than when the pipes for the second well were dug. So there were new faces, new families who got actively involved. What the helpers did not know was that the campaign was linked to the second emergency aid donation from our association. Those who took part were automatically among the families who could receive a food donation at the end of the action day (noodles, oil sardines, rice, as with our first Corona emergency aid action in June). A nice surprise that the association board had come up with. The Honourable Village Head Gati IV and the Village Development Committee took up the idea, which again testifies to the good connection between the association chairman and the officials in Klologo. A good sign! Heartfelt thanks - in German With heartfelt words, the chairperson of the Village Development Committee thanked them. "This very important donation will alleviate hunger among the beneficiaries for a few days in, especially at this time of COVID 19 when life becomes difficult," he wrote in his email to the chairperson. "The collaboration with Kekeli Togo is a happiness for our village."

Emergency aid - unbureaucratic ad hoc aid deliveries Food and masks for Klologo We received a call for help from Klologo: Food prices are rising, in some cases they have increased by 200 percent - can we help? Due to the Corona measures, such as curfew, all activities are forbidden. This leads to problems with transport and thus to supply shortages, especially of food. This explains the rapid increase in food prices. With very low or non-existent basic income of the population, this inevitably leads to hunger, malnutrition and diseases. Although according to the WHO there are "only" 124 covid-19 infected people and 9 deaths, the number of unreported cases is probably much higher. If you look at the medical care in Togo or in any developing country, you realise that the morbidity and mortality rate is much higher, because especially in rural areas most of the sick people cannot afford a doctor or are tested. We have decided to transfer an immediate aid donation of EUR 1000 from the association's account. From this amount, our local confidants, the village chairman, whom we can fully trust, as well as the brother and sister of the association chairman, will buy rice and noodles as well as face masks and will distribute the donations in the village. Thanks to the two wells that already exist, drinking water is available for hygienic preparation. First we will distribute the donations to the inhabitants who participated in the construction of the wells by digging the trenches for the pipes by hand with great physical effort; then to risk groups: the elderly or people with pre-existing diseases. Unfortunately, we cannot help every one of the 5000 inhabitants. But we hope for more donations from our friends, acquaintances, supporters. We know that this is also a difficult and uncertain time for us in Germany. Due to short-time work and the threat of unemployment, many of us will also find ourselves in need. But please, in this difficult time, also think of our friends in Klologo. Every small amount is a big step towards the goal. Even by making a purchase via https://smile.amazon.de or by using our search engine https://www.ngobrowser.org/KekeliTogo, everyone can contribute without extra costs.

We hope for your support and - very important: stay healthy. Yours Michel Kossih Frenzel-Assih Chairman Kekeli Togo e.V.09.05.2020
