Helping Babies Breathe in Togo

On November 29, 2013, I will travel to Togo, West Africa. I will be volunteering with LDS Humanitarian Services. Neonatal Resuscitation is a major humanitarian initiative of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This will be my 8th time serving with the Neonatal Resuscitation program and my 5th time serving in Africa.

Our courses in Togo will be taught in Dapaong, about a 12-hour drive from the Lomé, the capital of Togo. We are grateful to provide this training as a joint venture with LDS Humanitarian Services and UNICEF.
