Akwaaba means 'welcome' in the Twi language which is spoken in Ghana.
Our entire team arrived safely in the town of New Senchi where we have been helping in local clinics for the past two weeks. We haven't had access to the Internet, so I haven't been able to update the blog, but we have been having a great time in Ghana.
For the past two days we have been helping with National Immunization Day, part of the WHO's plan to eradicate polio. It has been interesting to go from house to house and to the local schools giving the polio vaccine to every child under the age of five.
Last weekend, we traveled to Mole National Park; it was a long trip, but we were able to see some amazing animals. We also visited a local market and saw how Ghanaians make glass beads.
So far, our trip has been amazing. I'm sorry we haven't been able to update the blog regularly, but when we return to a place with regular Internet access, I will add a post about everything we have done.
Medasee (Thanks)
