From Tucson, Arizona, to Accra, Ghana, we are finally---at long last---on our way!!! So, Walker students, stay tuned in and connected and we will try our best to do the same. Please remember that our village is small and does not have all the amenities that a city would have. We will most likely have to get a ride to the nearby city of Elmina---or, in the opposite direction, to Takoradi---in order to find an internet cafe where we can plug in and get online.
Oh, and it bears mentioning that the school of which you have seen several photos on this blogsite was very, very recently built by volunteers. It has concrete floors and a thatched roof and contains four classrooms. Each classroom will handle several grade levels and as many as sixty children!! The kindergarten classroom , you may have noticed, is still without desks. They call it the kindergarten, but I believe it is for first and second grade also. We will soon find out!!!
Here we go!!!

Hi Aunty Mame... have fun. I'm proud of you. Ghana is soccer crazy, btw. do you need a school coach?

One other thing Auntie Mame,
If your school has a futbol (soccer) team, perhaps one of our VA youth teams (like Grant's) could link up with them and send over some soccer gear (balls, shoes, jerseys, etc.).
Love to you,
Mark
