Very Inspiring Hi! here's another person you don't know! I was just looking at who was in Ghana, because I'm planning to go for 10 weeks, leaving in April. I just finished high school and I'm taking a year off to save up, and I can't wait. I've done volunteer work in Mexico and Guatemala, but it'll be my first time out on my own, and I have always been drawn to Africa, particularly Ghana. I'll be working in an orphanage teaching english and and organizing activities, etc, and you are giving me lots of ideas! Keep up the great work, and I look forward to your future entries :)
Leahy - you are a wonder I am so proud to know you - the story of the girl and jacket made me cry - you are the real deal Leahy. It is so hard to comprehend how hard life is for others but you are making it quite clear. Thanks Leahy for changing lives.

Hi Hello - you don't know me, but I just wanted to say I enjoyed reading your blog. I was in Ho with CCS last year for 8 weeks, and had an amazing time. I can relate to so much of what you say, and I think it's great that you are trying to help the teachers so your work can continue after you are home. Hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Ghana! Take care, Ricki
