Almost done at the school

Friday will be my last day at the school, I will be flying to the Upper East of Ghana on Friday. I will be with the Nichols family, who are missionaries in Ghana. We will be digging a well for an entire village that does not have any water. This will be an amazing experience for me. The Upper East is the poorest part of Ghana, and there, "water is life" literally. I am not sure if I will be able to update my blog between now and when I go home on June 12, but when I get home I will be posting at least one more time, and I will include pictures (if I can figure out how).

The last little while at the school has been pretty regular, the cane is still gone, and I hope it will stay that way after I leave. Pius (the autistic boy) has been making some progress, but it has been very slow. I am sad to be leaving him. I know that after I am gone, he will get no more individual attention, and he needs it so badly. I have done as much as I can for the school and the children during the short amount of time I was there. It is bittersweet to be leaving, because I will miss the school, but I am also really excited about coming home.

Once again thank you for all of your support and prayers. Please continue praying for my safety as I am traveling in the Upper East, as well as a safe trip home. I will be putting a lot of photos on Facebook for everyone that would like to see them.
