Hello Readers!
I have not posted any updates because, well, there haven't
been any! Today, Friday March 2nd, 2012 I met with a couple of people to
discuss my travel plans and to hear their thoughts and concerns. It went very
well and I am so thankful that I have their support and prayers! The time is
quickly approaching and I couldn't be more excited! As a countdown until the
day I leave, there are 71 days left! My departure date is May 13th, which is
the day after finals. The weeks in May are going to fly by!
After a
decision to wait until after my meeting today, I am letting you all know that
there will be a more public announcement made in about two weeks concerning
fundraising. Until then feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns
you may have or if you wish to help beforehand! I am so grateful for the
support that I have already received, not just monetarily (which I am SO
blessed) but also prayers. I will need them every step of the way, whether it
is planning, travel, in country, and leaving!
I have made contact with my
advisor that will be assisting me in my planning as well as in-country support,
and just today I replied asking questions such as what clothes to bring! Today
I also contacted volunteers who have recently just returned from volunteering in
the orphanage program through IVHQ and I have not heard back from them yet, (as
it has only been an hour ago) but when I do I will be sure to pass on any
interesting information they give me. IVHQ Ghana has a Facebook page-- http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=557006711&sk=friends#!/pages/IVHQ-Ghana/259259484101122 and
if you 'Like' it then you can see pictures posted! I let the American Embassy
in Ghana know what dates I will be in country in case of an accident or if I
needed help, which is a step of precaution advised.
So today has been very
productive, I'm thankful for the continued strong support I am receiving! Stay
tunned for more information to come!
