Ghanaian cedi

Wade and I are in full planning mode for phase 2 of the Project - discussing construction scheduling, budgets, and fundraising targets. This video brought back memories of Wade's last visit to Ghana. The currency re-valuation has not gone as smoothly as the ad suggests and our team in Ghana is watching the price of materials carefully.

Enjoy!

Project Update

The first rainwater-harvesting tanks are full of water and being used! Two large tanks (75,000L) are providing clean drinking water for all students at the school. One smaller tank (10,000L) is completed in each of the two villages that share the school, Adexor and Adexor-Kpodzi.

The plan now is to build 11 more large tanks, providing enough water for everyone in the villages. We are hoping to build 6 tanks in 2008 and the remaining 5 in 2009. These large tanks cost $3000 each to make and provide water for about five households each. So that’s about $33,000 to finish the project so that every person in Adexor and Adexor-Kpodzi has access to clean water.

Thanks to all our supporters for helping to continue bring this dream to reality.

We have lost a good friend in Ghana

Sister Bernadette was a nun working at the Catholic Hospital in Battor where many people from Adexor received medical treatment. It was “Sister B” who arranged for Wade’s placement in Adexor in the fall of 2003. On January 10th Sister died unexpectedly of brain cancer. Her smile, strong hugs and passionate compassion will be remembered and carried forward into the world through the many lives she touched.
