AN AFRICAN SUMMER…

It’s September!  Fall is on its way in and summer is just about over. And it was a great summer!  Our team of twenty (from the U.S.) recently returned from our August journey to Ghana, West Africa.  We held our 3rd annual Wechiau Girls Conference in the upper west region of the country. It’s a very remote area – some places just received electricity last year, although very many villages still don’t have any electricity at all. The nearest major city, Kumasi, is about 8 hours away… and the journey is not an easy one to drive. (In 2009, can you believe there are still places in the world without some of the basic things we take for granted here in the U.S.? We have a lot of work to do.)
