Lomé, May 7, 2008
I have met the personnel of the Togolese Red Cross with whom I¹ll be working closely during the next eight months.
Dr Battah Kuami, National Health Director for the Togolese Red Cross, will be one of my closest allies for the implementation of the malaria and child survival campaign. He has been involved with the Red Cross for over 16 years and has an amazing deal of knowledge on each region of the country and its particular needs.
In the early nineties, when Dr. Battah was as student of medicine at the University of Lomé, he participated in the foundation of his faculty¹s Club of Friends of the Red Cross. He later became the president of the club, which opened a consultation post where the students provided free medical services to vulnerable populations.
An individual with a great humanitarian vocation, Dr Battah also became a Red Cross First Aid instructor and worked in the front of HIV and AIDS.
In 2005, Dr Battah was engaged by the Togolese Red Cross as National Health Director and today I have the privilege to join himself and his team in the organization of the campaign against malaria which will take place next December of 2008.
It is tremendously inspiring to work with people like Dr Battah. Through him and my Red Cross colleagues I also have the opportunity to discover the culture and traditions of Togo, its welcoming and magnificent peoples!
