So there is some very good news from Ghana today!
Well, first there's bad news.
Apparently the "modern, air-conditioned and highly-reliable" STC Transport service - the major bus line in Ghana - has had a stretch of bad, er, luck. Massive delays and all kinds of "hitches.". So, my host, George Guri has decided to "spare me the risk" (read: feels sorry for woman traveling in Ghana first time) and will drive down to Accra to get me. Then, we'll drive to Wa in a pickup truck. Isn't that cool? If you remember the old TV commercials, "See the USA in a C. Miller Chevrolet"...I will see Ghana in a pickup truck. So like me!
Four years ago, my church started supporting needy children in the Upper West region of Ghana by sending money for school uniforms, shoes and supplies. After years of emails, letters, cards and sparse phone calls, the time has finally come for me to step boldly where no one from my church has stepped before ... on the road to Wa.
