New Visa and Fundraising Update

I am officially ready, travel wise, for my departure in September.  I recently received my Ghana visa in the mail!  As well as, I am feeling so blessed tonight.  I just got back from meeting with my missional community (google, vintage faith community if you want to know more:), and arrived home to a mailbox full of love, support, and funds for my Ghana trip!  Thank you so much for those words of encouragement, prayers, and money, it is so appreciated.  It not only means a lot to me, but also to the children and the community in which I will be getting to go help due to all of your giving.  I still have quite a bit of fundraising to go, so let's keep up the amazing support!

Trip Preperations

So far I have purchased my plane tickets to fly out to Ghana on Sept. 13th.  I will be met by a staff member of Hardt Haven at the international Airport in Accra, and I will then be shuttled 4 plus hours to Kpando.  I plan to fly home from Ghana on March 12th.  Also I have gotten my visa paperwork in order and sent off, so I am currently awaiting the arrival of my new visa!  I have received the proper shots for the trip, they were painful and left me feeling pretty drained for a couple days, but I'm getting really excited for my September departure:)

Fundraising

I'm currently thinking of doing a spaghetti feed, to raise funds for my trip.  I also just received an invoice from Hardt Haven telling me I need to pay ($1,998) 30 days before my arrival in Ghana (August 14th ), so that means I need to get those funds raised!:)
