Finally Here!!!

I'm back in Ghana after a year of planning, conniving, and thinking about this trip every second of everyday, and it feels good to be back, like coming home. I am currently in Accra, the capital working with Kersten, the woman from Volunteers Abroad who is coordinating this with me. I have already ben to Keta to see the site, and it was so surreal driving by the land for the first time, seeing it cleared and row after row of cement blocks laying on the ground, waiting to be used. The house which the volunteers will live in is a one minute walk from the site which is incredibly lucky. We have to connect water to the house so they will have access to it, but otherwise everything looks good. We have been compiling a more updates version of how much everything is going to cost, and unfortunately it is about 4,000 more than we expected, so we will have to scale down what we will work on. Instead of building the porch and overhang, we will focus on the main building and get as much done as possible with the money that we have. Feel free to email with questions, concerns, topics which you would like to hear more about, I am all ears.
