Some pictures from my life lately. A picture of Godwyn, a picture of the treehouse we slept in at Kokobrite Beach, a picture of the courtyard at the orphanage. Those cauldrons aren't Halloween decorations, we actually use those to cook all the meals.
I'm in Ashaley Botwe now. Yesterday we went to Madina and bought a TON of food for the orphanage. I bought about a months worth of food for 60 kids so I'm pretty pleased about that. Then we hitch hiked back into Madina later and unbelievably, I was able to get us all the way to Ashaley Botwe just by walking with our giant backpacks. A guy named Charles helped us and a guy named Pastor Frank. Everyone is so helpful here. Tonight we're going out to a bar in Accra and tomorrow we're going back to Labadi Beach for the day. Then this guy Eric is going to drive us back to Dodowa on Monday. We're supposed to be getting some more volunteers on Monday so that's exciting since Crystal and I have pretty much talked about everything two people can possibly talk about. Miss you guys. Hope everyone has a good Halloween and I'm sorry that I can't be there this year with my little blue dinosaur costume again. I know how good I looked dancing in it last year.
I had to dress up for something yesterday so I rocked the green equivalent of your costume and it still looked pretty sweet a year later... (although how time flies, does it really feel like a year since we made those things???)
ReplyDeleteAlso, the Adventures of Lindsay Richards is amazing as always. Love ya x
i am so excited that you were able to buy that food! you are a godsend to all of us. ma
ReplyDeleteRidiculous that I am so late to the party reading all your amazing experiences. I feel like I've grown by about two weeks and you've grown about 20 years since mid-October. I could not be more proud of you. I could not be more inspired by you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being such a heroine. Not just for the kids, but for all the rest of us too.
it sucks that you are so sick...i hope you get better soon. think of it as a master cleanse!
ReplyDeleteWith names like "Labadi Beach" and "Accra" this has to be a life changing experience for you. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you, Lindsay! Keep up the amazing work!
