BeBoz (english)

 

This is a new stop and a new language for Julien Friedler’s “Around the Boz In 80 Years” project :  Togo and Ewe.

Jacques, a 19 years old Togolese man, took a lot of time to answer the 6 “Around the Boz” questions. He wrote in Ewe, his mother language.

Céline, a young French woman, met him during her trip in Togo, where she took part in a building camp for France Solidarité internationale. After long explanations, she convinced Jacques to participate in the project. The young man works on a building site of the association from June until September. The rest of the year, he studies at Tsevie.

In his answers, he shows a very pessimistic vision of the present and even the future, but expresses also a lot of poetry : “God exists and the proof of this is : the ocean and its mysterious and endless waves.” (answering “Does God exist ?“).

Celine took this picture in Hove, a village of 600 habitants, near Tsevie.

Besides, she organized a drawing worshop with the children in the village, for Spirit of Boz.
