This port is very different form the one in Sierra Leone. In Sierra Leone, we were able to walk right out of the port and walk into the "neighbourhood". Togo, being more developed than Sierra Leone, the port is much busier. We just cannot walk into the neighbourhood. We need to take a taxi or a land rover. So our new residence for the next six months looks like this...
Looking toward the bow of the Africa Mercy.

Looking from the stern where the port is being expanded.

More development on the port side.

Our compound area this time is much larger than the area we had in Sierra Leone and also larger than the previous time we were here in 2010. In a few weeks this area will be transformed into tents and waiting areas for the patients. Containers will be unloaded which hold the Hope Center supplies as well and the Dental Clinic. It will be an interesting month transforming this empty dock into a functioning appendage of the hospital...providing hope and healing to the people of Togo.
