Hannah Saxe, one of the Storytellers Abroad participants, has her fan club walking through the village of Aditi-Kope, Togo, West Africa. Hannah did her story on HIV in Togo.

Brenda Mastin is a nurse at the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism hospital in Tsiko, Togo. Over the last few years, she and other Togolese colleagues have formed the organization ALMA, which is French for “friend indeed.” They are an HIV/AIDS ministry of education, compassion, and support. Their main operation is to educate the local churches to show mercy to HIV/AIDS patients and support them through counseling and medication. In addition, they hope to open their center for chronic disease care near the hospital. In this video Storyteller, Hannah Saxe tells the story of ALMA and their work in Togo.

Hannah prayed with an HIV patient and the subject, Brenda, before they did the interview.
