August 18, 2009Gappers Get to Ghana (Blog 2)
January 23, 2012Zaare!
We write this as we are sat in the SHCJ convent in Bolgatanga. We have been here now for just over 24 hours and have been warmly welcomed by Sister Eunice SHCJ and Sister Angela SHCJ.
Gappers Get to Ghana (Blog 1)
January 23, 2012Well here we are after an intense couple of days’ travel! Amy, Emma, Patrick and Christine started their epic Step Into the Gap trip at 8am at London City Airport.
After a quick touch down in Amsterdam, we arrived at the SHCJ convent in Accra, our home for the next two days, after 11pm that evening.
But all that travel was definitely worth it! The Holy Child sisters welcomed us warmly and have put us up in style! We’ve had a couple of days of fun, friendship and food and are feeling really at home here. Today, we went to the memorial for Kwame Nkruma, the man who announced the independence of the Republic of Ghana in 1959 and went on to become Ghana’s first ever Prime Minister!
( Amy, Emma, Sr Ngozi, Sr Meggie, Christine, Kofi)
We were driven around Accra by our wonderful driver, Kofi.
(Sr Ngozi, Patrick, Kofi, Emma, Amy, Christine)
And tomorrow we move on! We are leaving at 5am (!!!) to fly to Tamale, followed by a 3 hour drive to Bolgatanga to meet a whole new community. We’ll be doing some teaching, sharing in prayer and (hopefully) having the time of our lives!
