He toldL’Equipe(translated via Tennis.com), “I saw good things, the renovations to the schoolrooms, the equipment for the schools — school equipment but also sports equipment. The important thing, for me, was to not only meet the very young but also the older ones that left school we help, who are between 17 and 20 years old, and now, thanks to the project, are in apprenticeships.”
The couple traveled to West Africa again in November 2024. OnInstagram, Ghaibi shared photos from their trip and wrote: “Another Togo trip in the books filled with the most joyous, generous and inspiring groups of people I’ve witnessed.”
