We have completed the community service portion of our trip and are now in Kumasi. The students worked really hard on the building at the school site, unfortunately all of the work was very rigorous! We dug out and carried a lot of sand for the concrete floors for two large rooms and the plaster for the front of the building. Needless to say we were very tired at the end of each day. We also visited an orphanage and cleaned their laundry (clothes and sheets), wiped down all of the beds and swept the entire orphanage. We returned later with a donation from our group, we went to the market and purchased food, supplies, cleaning materials and general items they needed. We also donated some of the items we collected in Sacramento. The soccer jerseys were a huge hit! Tomorrow we will visit the craft villages and get some shopping in before heading to Mole, the game reserve for a few walking safaris. We are having a hard time squeezing in visits to internet cafes, and when we do, the machines are incredibly slow. Know that the students are healthy, enjoying themselves and send their best!

Parents, Friends and Family,
We are here in Ghana, safe and sound. The students are wiped out! We had a few delays, a few missing bags (donation items only!), but are receiving our room assignments and are ready for a hot shower and bed. Rest easy we are safe and sound.
