-------------------------------
SOTOUBOUA, Togo, West Africa - Amgna Kotoko comes from a poor farm family, and, growing up outside this small agricultural town near the Mono River in Togo's heartland, his childhood was one of hardship.
In part because of what he experienced as a child, Mr. Kotoko established a small orphanage here five years ago, distinguished for its local ownership and its manifest willingness to accept children of any nationality or ethnic group.
"I suffered a lot in my own childhood," said Mr. Kotoko, who is still in his early 30s, a young man of obviously intense feelings. "Because of all the various troubles in Ghana and Togo, many children have become abandoned. And I feel their pain."
