Wow
Africa is my next dream destination (I'm currently in Mongolia) and I really enjoyed your account of shop life. It's too bad business has suffered, I hope things change to give local shop owners some more income. Thanks for the read! :-)

Ejisu
Very cool, Scott. The goodwill towards Ghana continues. Ejisu is a town we always passed through on our way to Kumasi. I'm excited to hear all that Nelsen and Renton have been able to accomplish this year. Thanks for being the leader!!!

I love the pictures
Sarah, I love your pictures. I need to figure out a way to share mine with you guys. Life sounds just how I remember it, though now that I'm out of the environment, it sounds so foreign. I miss it. But things are good at home. I'm proposing on Friday and will send you and Katy a wedding announcement. Tell everyone hi for me.

Emmanuel
What an opportunity, Sarah! Say "Hi" to Emmanuel from Nelsen if you get to see him. On Friday, Feb. 15 the chief of the Mo tribe in Northwest Ghana will visit our school. We are collecting supplies to add to a container that is going to that area of Ghana and also to Ejisu, where a man named Kojo Fordjour is starting a library. On the wheelchair drive, we just got a matching grant set up, so we hope to meet our goal by 2/15 - we've got about $8,000 to go, so we're hopeful. Students are doing a coin drive on the 14th and 15th, too. If anyone wants to check out the cool $50 wheelchair (or donate), they can access info from the Nelsen Middle School website. I loved the soccer story - Take Care - Scott

No Worries
Hi Sarah, The thing about an extra head being needed before the announcement of the chiefs death is true. Don't fret too much though. "The Gods" don't want a white persons head. If you were black and a "visitor" to Ejura you would have reason to worry. So rest assured and thank God He didn't make you with black skin! Christine

I finally got a chance to catch up on the blogs. Sarah, it is really entertaining to read, and I can only imagine 40+ days without electricity and river baths. Hang in there.

Merry Christmas!
Hello Sarah! I am sending you a package but it will have to be a New Year's package- I've had it ready to ship for two weeks but haven't made it to the post office. I love you and even though we don't share our holidays I will miss you being here.

Wheelchairs!!!
That's fantastic, Scott! Thanks for keeping me posted! I have seen several of the "tricycle" wheelchairs around lately, and they are so difficult for people to manage (they pedal with their hands). The terrain here is definitely NOT wheelchair-friendly. Amazing how much money was raised in a week! Go Wendy!!! Hope the speaker is great and the evening's events go well. Thanks!

Over 100 wheelchairs going to Ghana
Sarah - Nelsen students did a coin drive last week and raised $1,150 ($650 from Wendy Collins' class alone!). So we're up to over $5,000 or 100 wheelchairs. Tomorrow's the big day when Don, the inventor of the wheelchair, visits Nelsen to meet with the students at lunch time, teach a science class, and speak to students, parents, and community in the evening after pizza and Starbucks. It should be very exciting. I'll let you know how it goes. Take care, Scott

Can't wait to see you in person!
I am playing catch up too and just reading your latest blogs. I can't believe your adventure in Africa is coming to a close but I know that those of us that love you here in the U.S. will be happy to have you home. Johnny and Rayna had a new baby boy, Cash Walker on April 20th. I am looking forward to meeting him this weekend. That makes #9 (is that enough for a football team?) I love you Sarah.
