| 23rd January 2007 Tina | Steph is 19 - From: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME Steph... I'm glad you're doing well and enjoyed your birthday. You're 5 years minus a day younger than me (I think that's right haha). And when I was thinking of you and how you were turning 19... i was caught off guard lol... that means I'm old. Even though you weren't here with us to celebrate your birthday... you were part of the celebration... as you can see from the love sent you way from the pictures! I miss you tremendously. Your placement sounds amazing... and I know you're there doing an amazing thing. You were a great person before you left for Ghana... and this experience will make you that much greater. Love you. Take care of yourself. Muah. |

| 1st January 2007 Lisa Gardner | Katey Gardner - From: Tamale Hi Stephanie, My daughter, Katey was just travelling in the same area as you, maybe you were on the same bus! and tro-tro! Do you know here, she is with You Lead in Sekondi-Takoradi? at a Montessori School. She travelled with other You Lead volunteers, Karen, Zoe, and Kate - all from BC. I loved your story about the "insane million hour bus ride" cause that's how Katey described it. They apparently waited up all night to catch a 4am bus and then missed it!! had to take a tro tro all the way, then a taxi. Anyway, nice to read your amusing stories....the internet is really wonderful way to communicate with people. Take care, Lisa |

| 24th December 2006 Brad | Merry Christmas Steph - From: Tamale Merry Christmas Steph! It may seem like a lonely christmas now, but I bet this is one you'll never forget! I asked the guy at the post office about sending Manchu Wok, he looked at me kinda weird, so I think the answer is no. I ate some noodles though and tried to pass the taste on telepathically, did you get it? |

| 17th November 2006 Dylan | Goodness. - From: first month and a half! Jesus Stef. Seems like you're having one hell of a time... I love the proposal count of 24... I can't see too many other girls getting that many in three weeks? Your experience sounds wonderful. Completely outta the box and really different. Something really worth doing and seeing, rather than like Europe or something that everyone does. Anyways good luck, have fun and I'll see you around sometime when you return to Canada eh? |
