UPDATE: In the interest of saving some space on the original post, I'm doing the present Africa update on this post. You can still find the original (older) updates here.
Togo is reporting that the start of school is being delayed as a result of the recent flooding. Though it sounds like they weren't ready to start anyway, these kinds of changes in schedule can really disrupt local families.
Also, since Togo is one of the poorest of all African nations, it came as no surprise that they issued an international call for help recently. There are estimated to be at least 20,000 homeless. As I mentioned earlier, I believe we'll have an opportunity to directly aid a church in Togo in the near future...
Here's another general update news report I stumbled across, mentioning a number of African nations.
Finally, at long last there are some pictures of the flooding circulating the internet.
More to come...

Have you an address to send gear to or a list of specific needs?
In the very near future I should have some specific information and requests... Stay tuned!
