A Word from Ghana.

Hello from the Village of Hope Orphanage! Pam and I are resting after an incredible and busy week at the Children's Art Village here in Gomoa-Fetteh. The kids made some fantastic artwork, learned some new dances and musical routines, and basically just had a great time running around and playing together. All of our children from our three programs in Ghana (Village of Hope in Gomoa-Fetteh, City of Refuge in Tema, and Village of Life in Kete-Krachi) were united at the camp, and it was so much fun to watch them interact and bond.

During the week, Touch A Life volunteers Eric Cope, Chris Field, and Jason Hackmann joined George Achibra and his rescue team to save three sweet boys from Lake Volta. They are adjusting very well; two of them even joined the rest at the art camp. Pam and I are heading to Kete-Krachi tomorrow. We are hoping to rescue 10 children off of the lake during the next week.

As always, your prayers and encouragement are so greatly appreciated. More updates and photos will come when we return from Ghana on August 22nd.
