Mamee.

I've had this picture of Mamee on my laptop's background for about a week now.

Her eyes are piercing, yet inviting. The words "I am fine," spoken ever so softly are under her tongue, and she is urging me to come back. Her gentle spirit encompasses everything a little girl should be. I miss her.

Fundraiser Deux

Hello again...it's been a while.  As some of you may know, I am planning on returning to Ghana late next summer, armed with a small team of people who want to help. I have an education student interested as well as a pre-med student. I was hoping so have at least one person from both of those fields so that those kids can get medical check-ups as well as help with their homework. This week I received a check for $500 and another donation worth $300. That brings me to $800...not a bad start! 

I have a lot of ideas floating around in my head about what fundraisers I would like to do around Johnson City. Benefit concert, pancake breakfast, bake sale, etc...

A flight to Ghana costs somewhere around $2,000. We still have a long way to go.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
