GEOASTROLAB -TOGO PROJECT

Little by little, the # GeoAstroLab-Togo (Laboratory of Geosciences and Astronomy in Togo) is taking shape. Soon, it will be open to the entire Togolese public, in particular pupils, students and teachers to allow them to better rediscover the Earth Sciences and the Universe.

You can also contribute to the realization of this educational, scientific, cultural and development program in Togo, as is the case with the # AssociationGeologiqueAuboise (#AGA) which has just offered the # ONGSG2D, 200 species of fossils, geology books and posters.

Message from ONGSG2D :

Currently, we really need samples of magmatic and especially volcanic rocks. From the time I attended until I got my Master 2 in Geology, I have never seen a real basalt, for example. And it is the same for those who follow us and even for the high school teachers who teach petrography to the students, they have not seen or touched the magmatic volcanic rocks (basalt, rhyolite, andesite, trachyte, pumice, obsidian …). And it’s a little deplorable. We are doing our best to set up a mobile and fixed laboratory that will contain all three types of rocks to allow pupils, teachers and students the opportunity to touch them with their fingers and learn more about these rocks.

Therefore, we ask for your help, your support to make this project a reality. We plan to start the activities next September (the school year 2020-2021)

For this project, the foundation will send samples & needs your help to make the sample donation package.
