August team meets in Ghana!

Journal by: Liz

Amazing-arrived in Accra on time even though we left JFK on hour and a half late. Apparently we had to wait for a connecting flight.

This Hurricane Irene is playing havoc with everything. Flights have been canceled. It seems bizarre to arrive in Ghana as helpful volunteers, having left the U.S. where the weather is forecast to be severe.

Esther met us at the airport with big hugs. We took the van to the Airport View Hotel where we rested, showered, took a walk outside in the warm humid air and changed some money. We met Julie and Cailin.

Met Vivian at dinner in the restaurant of the hotel. Had a buffet of many flavors-chicken, rice, salads, tilapia, a meat dish and banku. Ended with fruit.

Esther talked with us about what we would be doing at Senchi Ferry and she gave us the tips about Do’s and Don’ts.
