Below is a letter from
the students of the Batome School in Togo Africa. We translated it from French
and tried to keep it as original as possible.

Financial help for the
construction of water and sanitary latrines for EPP Batome
We, students of Batome
Primary school by this, are requesting from you
financial support for the construction of a
drinking water well and
sanitation at our school.
In effect, the Batome Primary School was founded
in 1984.
To now we are a total number of 583 students
including 321 girls and 262
boys. Our school does not have hygiene facilities
and clean water.
We come to school with cans of water to
drink. We go the the nearby houses to
satisfy our sanitary needs.
Many of our comrades
leave school because of lack of clean water and
sanitation. All this is not conducive
to our success in school, why we make this
request.
We ask you to please accept the assurances of our
highest consideration.
God bless you
The Students of EPP BatomeHO
