It was another great day in Ghana. After the usual breakfast, most of the volunteers headed to what was said to be the final day of the construction of the new preschool. Meanwhile, there were medical students contributing at all three clinics today. After our favorite lunch (Peanut soup with rice balls), Amy, Namrita, Chris and I delivered thank you notes to the district’s C. E. He talked all about his position and about the village and we really enjoyed our visit. Most of the others went to the river where they rowed down the Volta on rented boats. After dinner, it was a pretty lazy evening with games of Rummy, books, and movies passing the time until everyone went to sleep.

In other news, today, Barack Obama won the Democratic Presidential Nomination, and Hillary Clinton has yet to concede.

“If you teach a man to hate and fear his brother; that he is less of a man because of the color of his skin or the policies he pursues, then you teach him to face others not as fellow citizens, but as enemies. We must learn that this world can neither be ennobled nor enriched by hatred and violence” Robert F. Kennedy
