Orphanage
The road to my orphanage in Nkwanta is flooded so they've reassigned me to an orphanage in Dodowa, not too far outside Accra. I go there today with a girl Crystal. I'm really excited. It's a small village but it has a market and it will be easy to travel around on the weekends. I've had a great weekend. An English lady named Diane, a girl Nora from Finland, Simon from New Zealand, and Melora from Germany and I all went to the Wli Falls. We drove 5 hours to Wli Falls, spent 2 hours there, and then drove 6 hours back. Longest car ride! Hopefully I can get some internet soon and update more about the orphanage. This place is beautiful. The people are so friendly, there are amazing sunsets, beautiful dresses, and amazing skies at night.

When do you go? Is this a permanent thing in dodowa now? Can you upload pictures of your adventures?
ReplyDeleteI'm moving to Dodowa today and that's permanent. Nkwanta is apparently too remote and difficult to get to on the dirt roads and they want to keep me closer to the base house I guess. Uploading takes forever but when I have more time and more money for internet I'll upload a ton of my house, of the orphanage, and of the kids. Miss you.
