We're in our final hours in Ghana, and it's still not real. It hasn't settled partly due to the fact that our flights don't leave til 11pm, so we've had the whole day to relax around Accra, see some old friends, and ride our final trotros, eat our final street food.
We spent yesterday meeting with Marilyn and Joanna at OCLF, which was fantastic. We're so glad we got to meet Marilyn and chat with her about our experience at Jordan Nu and Ghana in general. Disappointing though, was the narrowly missed opportunity to meet Kathy Knowles of OCLF fame, as she is in Accra but very busy coordinating the opening of a new library in Madina.
We promise to post photos as soon as Lauren recovers in the US (maybe next week?). This has been an incredible experience (that's not even really a word to do it justice, but whatever), ups and downs, all of it. Laura will hopefully continue to post about her travels in Spain and Italy on this site, so keep coming back! And, finally, we would appeal to you to check out the FAVL website and possibly make a donation. We've seen the great work they do over here first hand, and they need our support, however big or small.
MUCH LOVE!!!
