Returning to Ghana

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. This summer I am going back to Ghana. It will only be me and my dad. We're going to miss you Robert and Ray. We will again be going to Village of Hope (VOH). We are going to be in Ghana July 20 through August 5. It's only two weeks this year, last year was four. But I almost didn't get to go this year because plane tickets are so expensive so I'm happy with only two weeks.

This year we'll be doing something a little different. My dad will be teaching the teachers at VOH a one week class about how to use computers, the Internet, e-mail, etc. I will be helping to tutor them and make sure they all keep up with what daddy's teaching. Daddy will also hold a seminar on the impact of western technology and culture on Ghana for church leaders and ministers. That will only be a one time thing. We will meet with Lawrence Lamptey, a minister we help to support and friend. The last few days we will be staying at his house. It is going to be an amazing experience. We will also go visit the university in Accra were daddy will talk to the people there to see if he can take a sabbatical there. That would be so cool! I will also be recording what we do, where we go and the people we meet, by writing in my blog and taking pictures.

We are starting to gather up things to take to Ghana. If you have any flash drives you would like to donate that would be greatly appreciated. I don;t know what else we need so if you would like to donate anything ask my dad. I'm also going to gather up some coloring books, crayons, origami paper, and possibly some LEGO to take to the kids. If you have anything you would like to give to the kids just drop me a line.

I am so excited about going to Ghana. This year we are NOT flying British Airways. Hallelujah! And I will be packing my suitcases differently this time. (For those of you just now joining, last year they lost my suit case. It ended up never leaving Dallas. I got it the day before we left to come home.) We only get two suitcases each this year, but we're staying a shorter amount of time there so I think we'll be able to take all the things we're planning on taking.
