Our first day in Ghana ...

Our first official day in Ghana is complete. It was just a day of exchanging money, doing errands, visiting the Liberian and Canadian embassys, spending some time at an orphanage (see pictures below). The single woman who runs this orphanage has adopted several children ... it's so amazing and inspiring!

Tomorrow we plan to visit with the people from the Buduburam Camp, help them set up small businesses and give them the donated items for distribution for sponsored children at the camp.

Things have really changed in Ghana. There are a lot of new buildings going up foreigners, and a lot more non-taxi vehicles on the roads. The city also looks so much cleaner - people are cleaning garbage and sweeping along the roundabouts. They have built a brand new mall (the first ever here!) and it is very expensive!! I guess you have the rich in every country!!

I think we are climitazing to the heat - it's in the high 30s and of course, very very humid!

Thank you for all you prayers ... we need daily grace and wisdom!

Love,

Marsha, Jackie, and Ariel
