ARASA: These diasporic people who contribute and build




Bouladè is one of the six townships of Assoli Prefecture in the Kara region. Built along the Nationale N ° 1, this canton is provided with a primary school of 270 students and a general education college of 250 students, two structures erected in front of a Peripheral Care Unit USP which receives on average 150 patients in the month, and who does not have a water pump. Since Saturday, March 17, 2018, this is no longer the case. Patients admitted to this health center may have access to drinking water to eat, if only to take a paracetamol tablet.


 It is in a festive atmosphere, tinged with thanks, words of satisfaction and pride, that the people, standing behind the leaders and dignitaries of the locality, have received a brand new electric drilling of a depth of 80 meters with a tank with a capacity of 2,000 liters of water. The device will serve the health center, and all the local populations who are sorely lacking water.

The benefactor is none other than a child of the middle, more and more known to his penchant for social works: ARASA (Association of the Nationals of Assoli in America) that represented Mr. Aboubakar Amadou, president of the new office of this diasporic organization of sons and daughters of the prefecture of Assoli. For about 4 million CFA in equity from monthly contributions of members of the association, ARASA for a second time invested to come to the rescue of the canton of Bouladè who did not know where to give the head to quench its thirst, when on the great sunny days of the dry seasons, the gullies and the wells dry up.

"When the nurse prescribes a medicine to a patient, it takes water to take it. Water is life, "said the head of the canton of Bouladè, Mr. Ali Adam Kassimou, who hastened to set up a drilling management committee set up before the USP of the canton. The beneficiaries of course thanked and blessed their donor children, promising to manage the borehole with great care.

ARASA aims a social achievement per year in a canton of the prefecture of Assoli

"We have not forgotten the difficulties left behind, we sons and daughters from this prefecture who live in America" ​​declined Mr. Aboubakar Amadou. He stressed that the ARASA was not at its first realization, noting the repair of a building of the CEG Bafilo up to 3 million CFA francs, the construction of a first borehole in Koumondè in 2017 without forgetting donations of drugs and the like to ARASA's assets in such a short time.

"Our ambition is to be able to realize a social work by year and by canton of the prefecture of Assoli" he added. The ceremony of presentation of the jewel to the population was attended by the representative of the prefect of Assoli Mr. Tchagafo. A great rain showered the locality, a kind of divine blessing to ARASA's investment which today seems to be the only diasporic organization in Togo that is illustrated in the acts, which are better than the press releases and speeches. ARASA is doing its part.

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

                                                           Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland. The most common generic names (orúko àmútọ̀runwá) in Yoruba land are ‘Taiwo‘ and ‘Kehinde‘ (altogether known as Ìbejì) which are given to twins. The first born of the twins is called Táíwò, a shortened form of Tò-aiyé-wò (taste the world) while the last born of the twins is called Kéhìndé which literally means “the last to come”. Contrary to the popular belief that Taiwo, being the first born of the twins, is old

Togo now has its plan to combat land degradation

Land degradation is a reality in Togo. According to figures put forward by the Ministry of the Environment, each year 4.14% of the land (nationally) succumb to the phenomenon. And it is in response to the problem that the Government launched last March, the Program of definition of the national targets on neutrality in land degradation (PDC / NDT). On Thursday in Lomé, environmental experts validated a document that will serve as a blueprint for sustainable land management in Togo. This document, which estimates that 23,500 hectares of land are degraded each year in Togo between 2000 and 2010, has already identified national targets assessed on the basis of indicators such as land use, net productivity or carbon. According to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources, Sama Boundjouw, these targets and their measures to be validated will become guidelines for any actor involved in the fight against land degradation in Togo during the next twelve
