Well, we're almost ready! The Oduro Family is headed, under our non-profit organization, Access to Empowerment International, to Ghana, West Africa this Saturday.
We are traveling there for meetings with potential funders and to view various projects we assist with. We will also get to spend our first Christmas in Ghana!
We are now busy packing children's books, crayons, markers, school supplies - oh and who can forget - clothes! We want to make the best use of our free luggage on the plane and are restricting our ENTIRE family to 2 suitcases so we can use the other 8 for educational supplies for the schools we work with.
And, we just got word that we are being given 100 computer hard drives from an online auction and we have to pick them up this week! Crazy times, but we are so grateful for the opportunity to help empower children through education. Continue to watch the blog to stay updated with our latest happenings while we're in Ghana!

I am VERY impressed that you are keeping your family's luggage to just 2 suitcases! I suppose it's a good reminder of what is truly necessary in life.
Save travels to all of you!
