Akwaaba!!

Akwaabe (welcome)... After a long, 11 hour flight, we have finally arrived in Accra, the capital of Ghana, though three out of our four pieces of luggage were left in NYC. Needless to say, our first three days have already been an experience we will never forget, but would not like to experience again.
Accra could not be more different from the United States; from food and housing to culture and customs. We are slowly becoming accustomed to the culture, as it was quite a shock from day one. Raymond Ablorh, the founder of Naa Kordey Memorial Child Care Facility, and Selorm Kofi Dake, co-founder of Tomorrow Leaders Ghana (TLG), have gone above and beyond to make sure that we are safe and happy at all times. Raymond has been kind enough to escort us throughout the city, showing us things such as the President's Palace, local markets, village life for locals, and how to use local transportation.
Tomorrow we will be visiting the Naa Kordey Memorial Child Care Facility for an 'orientation' where we will meet the children and teachers that we will be working with, as well as getting acquainted with the facility itself. To find out more about this facility and the project mission, you can visit Raymond's blog at: http://www.raymondablorh.blogspot.com/ .
Feel free to ask us any questions about our experiences throughout the month!
