Early Friday morning it was off to the airport before sunrise to fly back to Indiana. This is Accra, the largest city and capital of Ghana, as we climb out. -Bittersweet to be leaving with such fond memories of all the people we worked with.

Thursday was a travel day to get from the Central Kumasi to the very Southern Accra for our Friday flight home. We departed at 5:30am to allow enough time for a short side trip to Cape Coast, the epicenter of the slave trading. Along the way we stopped at the Kakum National Park for a walk in the treetops. This is a series of rope bridges stretched between the tallest of the trees in the rain forest. (yes, it rained on us...) What a view!

Doctors seeing patients in the "out patient" part of the hospital. Of significant note here is the young doctor on the left behind the desk. He and Joseph recognized each other. They met during an evangelistic event about ten years ago when Joseph was presenting to a group of GAMSU (Ghana Association of Methodist Student Union) which is like our Wesley Foundation. It's good to see God is still at work in his life!
Tuesday we took time off from construction to drive out to Ankassi to see the work that Cam and Anne Gongwer have been doing. This is a shot in the childrens ward of the Ankassi Methodist teaching hospital. We met the administrator and some of the staff. The "waiting area" was jammed, which we understand is normal every day.
