The best thing about heading to Lome to work at the PC bureau is not the wireless internet which makes you feel like you were surfin stateside... nor the air-conditioned lounge… or the Lebanese restaurants take out menu (though if you call the number listed…it’s for a guy who no longer works there and therefore “delivery” was just a fleeting dream). 
It is the fact that when exit the volunteer lounge…after suffocating from the wall of humid heat that lies outside…You get to open the door…take a breath of cool air and breathe a sigh of relief…and smile as you see Barack looking back at you.
Its times like these you feel good to represent America…especially when your Togolese co-workers jump for joy over the same realization…finally… we are all ambassadors for CHANGE…
