Hello from Ghana!

I have not been able to post for the last couple of days because of our travels down to Cape Coast. While there, we visited Kakum National Park, Elmina Castle, a fishing village, and a beautiful beach. The canopy walk, 135 feet high, was so wonderful.....and a little scary!

Tonight we say our goodbyes. The Profesa is having a wonderful farewell celebration for us. I am in the office now to type this to you, but will go back now to join the fun.

Thank you again for all your support. Tomorrow we come home to you to share our stories of this amazing experience.

Love,
Kim

Health Seminar


Stephanie conducted her Health Seminar this afternoon. The female Profesa students were taking notes and attentively listening to her presentation. It was very well received! They were so appreciative of the Lunapads/Health Care Packages. She did an amazing job!

Clara is now an International Artist!




Clara presented her artwork to the Profesa Academy today. The five paintings were loved by all. So beautiful!

Webpage Winner!













Everyone worked very hard on their webpages this week. It was difficult to select a winner as they were all fantastic.
Congratulations to Caroline's Team!

Our Last Day at Profesa...

We woke this morning to be greeted by the hottest day yet! Yikes! We are careful to drink lots of water and stay out of the sun.

We had a lot of packages to bring to the school this morning......Lunapads/health care packages, soccer balls, books for the local high school, and gifts for the students. At the moment, the teams of students are finishing up their individual webpages. The judging will take place in about an hour! Special thanks to John McDaid who was extremely helpful in assisting us with the Drupal.

More to come in a bit....providing we have Internet service.

Love,
Kim
