Good bye Royal Seed :(

---

I always enjoyed coming back to Royal Seed after sending the weekend away. The children are delighted when I return, but this time their happy faces turned to frowns when they asked what day I was leaving. They all told me to remember them. How could I forget an adorable 90 children who had been looking after for almost 2 months?! There is so much more I would like to do for them, that I even have the idea of fundraising for the orphanage when I'm home. They need so much; to finish the dormitaries and dining room, a new kitchen, mosquito nets, clothes, school books... the list goes on. The day before I left the children received new flip flops and later pants from Holly, the English volunteer who had come with me but left early due to her illness. It just makes you feel so good to see the place develop and change for the benefit of the children.

I also had my last art lesson with class 4. My lesson was much longer than usual as the teachers were having a meeting (for the half the day!), so I took over. It was fun though 😊 The kids got a bit over excited when I showed them the glitter lol.

My Ghanian friend Cornelia waved me goodbye from the STC station. I'm going to miss her so much!

Wow!
It is so amazing to see these pictures and read your descriptions of the Royal Seed home. I will be volunteering here from April-June and I now have more of an idea of what to expect! I am doing a small fundraiser at my old high school and intend to buy necessities for the kids while I'm in Ghana, to keep my bags light and support their economy. If you have any advice or anything I'd love to hear it, just send me an email! :) thanks, Erika

Thank you!
Thanks for your comment! I am so happy Royal Seed is receiving more help :) They really do need it. I am sorry I did not reply sooner, as I do not check this site very often (at least not recently). How are the children? It has been one year since I have been there and I still think of them all! I hope you are well and enjoying yourself there!!
