I just love those two minutes after I get out of the shower where I feel clean and cool and nice, before I start sweating bullets again in the ninety degree weather. I love the starched feeling of my clothes after they have been dried all crunchy by the sun!
Today I worked at the girls home. I spoke some Twi to the housemothers which made them laugh so hard I thought they were going to cry. Hahahaha! Two of the newborns are gone... don't know where, and I'm not sure I want to know! I think it would be rude to ask. There are a lot of things you wouldn't think are rude in another culture. Its tough to get used to!
I chatted with Rebecca (a friend from Chicago who lives permanently in the outskirts of Kumasi) and we collaborated about special needs children we have been involved with. I told her about a small orphanage in the Brong Ahafo region run by a Dutch man. The orphanage takes in children with disabilities and special needs and is the epitome of what an orphanage should be. They have physical therapy, a swimming pool, assistive equipment, and so much more. The best part is that most of the staff is Ghanaians. Each child is assigned a staff member, so they get lots of one on one time with their "mothers"! Rebecca and I will make plans to visit their home sometime soon. I will probably with meet her next weekend and check out all of her projects!
No new news on the bus. I'm putting together a fundraising page, so more on that later.
Bye for now!
