  • TO MARKET TO MARKET TO BE HIT BY A FAT PIG, by Debi Frock

    I can’t believe that I have been in Ghana almost two weeks and Drew Davidsen has been here over a week.  At times it seems that it was only yesterday that I was packing, weighing and repacking four suitcases but time has flown by as we have done several weeks worth of work in the…

  • Sharing the Secret

    Every once in a while a project comes along that truly touches your heart. Last year I was introduced to a wonderful idea to help children in developing nations learn how to overcome problems with worms. “The Secret to Being Strong” is a coloring book developed by Jean MacKay Vinson and JAMSBooks to introduce children…

  • She just needed some Mr. Clean!

    Just how much time do you spend going to the store for a cleaner, like Mr. Clean?   I arrived here in Ghana very late last Friday. It was exhausting–2 planes, a 5 hours layover in London. Both flights were over 7 hours each. I was tired and Mercia and I talked for about 4…

  • So many Red Bishops

    One of my favorite past times while I am here in Ghana is to count Red Bishops. They are a beautiful birds that are common as we ride through the bush. This photo is by daniehattingh. I have several photos of this bird and I love to point it out to the children. We often miss…

This is…

  • At Home in Ghana

    I felt it as soon as I stepped off the plane. That feeling you get when all that surrounds you is familiar and comforting. Like Mac and cheese or hot chocolate. Even before Mercia and Sophia came running to greet me with big hugs, I was at home. The van now sports our new logo.…

  • Day 2 – Ghana And the winners are:

    It was a beautiful day here in Ghana. It started with a short 4 hour service at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church. Luckily it was not hot. I had a new dress and they sang my favorite hymn, “It is hard to work for God”. I am sure I will have a great comment on this…

  • Hello from Ghana, Day 1

    Welcome to day one of Ghana mission Dream Teams 2010. This was my first time flying United Airlines direct from Washington, DC to Ghana. I was blessed to have Anita Dudek, The Rev. Becki Neumann and Bruce Neumann see me off. It is very nice to fly direct. I watched a movie, slept and then…
