Paul Agboglo

Paul Agboglo, raised in the south of Togo, earned his BA in Foreign Languages (German and English), with a thesis focused on the translation and interpretation of 150 proverbs in the Ewe language of Togo. Paul's thesis has since become a standard reference in Lomé for studies of the moral and philosophic teachings of the Ewe people as transmitted by oral tradition. He has personally been “blessed” by having twins, which in West African culture is surrounded by mystical considerations—parents of twins are revered and honored. Paul has led European and American groups in West Africa for the last three years and is himself a “blessing” for trip members with his vast knowledge and lively personality.
