This is a chronicle of my time living in the West African country of Ghana and of my experiences working in an orphanage. Please contact me if you're interested in how you can help!

Pictures take forever to upload and I don't have much time so I downloaded one from my day on the beach and one from my hike up to Wli Falls, the tallest waterfall in West Africa. I've only been here 4 days so far and I feel like I've been here a month because your days are so long. Now that I've traveled a little bit around I'm really excited to start working at the orphanage. It's just me and Crystal for the first two weeks but Eddie said some people are coming in early November and he'll probably drop them off at Dodowa. My mom says you can Youtube "Dodowa" and see some videos of the orphanage. I'm going to try to look this week at them but if you're curious, look them up! Last night I went to the movies to see The Other Guys. In Africa. It was so weird to go to the movies here. Anyway, Eddie said that I should have access to the internet while at the village although it may be spotty so I may actually be able to post pretty often. I miss everyone but I am really having an amazing time. Immigration only approved me to live here for 2 months so I have to go talk to them about extending my visa for longer. Someone said I can just live here illegally for awhile and then pay a fine of like $30. I'm wishing I could stay here forever though.

Thanks for the photos. When we read your adventures we try to imagine the settings and people, so pictures are a big help. Can't wait to see Dodowa and the faces of your kids. Love, Dad
