The event, entitled "A family evening at the Embassy," was organized for orphans from the SOS Children's Village and the Support For Suffering Childhood reception center in Lome.

During the event, the orphans were invited to dine Chinese cuisine after learning about Chinese culture through Chinese calligraphy and drawings and enjoying a demonstration of Kung Fu and Chinese games initiated by the Confucius Institute of University of Lome. They were also offered voluntary consultations by the Chinese medical team.

The Chinese Embassy in Togo, with the support of the Chinese community in the West African country, donated to Togo's National Solidarity Agency (ASN) in aid of disadvantaged children.
