Sorry for the lack of updates so far. It has been quite difficult to get online. When we finally do, it's painfully slow. We have had a great first few days here. The plane flights went great and the kids were troopers! Thanks to those of you who prayed for easy traveling. We arrived at 11pm on Sunday night.
We got to work early Monday morning running through everything to make sure we had everything ready for the potential partners, Destiny Foundation, visit. It was so great to be back at the school and see all the family and friends we have missed.
Tuesday was our meeting day with Destiny Foundation and it went very smoothly. It was so awesome to meet people who had a similar heart, passion and vision regarding education and poverty. They are doing great things already with poverty and hunger in Florida and have a God-given desire to move their work into Africa. We were able to present Access to Empowerment's heart and vision, tour the school we were at, and follow a student home to see a "day in the life of" a student. Except for losing our camera bag with the USB cable, extra battery and 1 lens in it (we had the camera on us), everything was a huge success!
Today, Wednesday, is a national holiday, so we have laid low and spent precious time with family. Tomorrow we head to Golden Era International School in Accra, to meet the Director of the school. Access to Empowerment currently funds school lunches at that school. We are excited to meet him and tour the school.
We hope to add pictures soon. Would love to hear from you!
