As this summer's trip gets closer, this blog will be updated to make sure all details are in order. This is a place that you and your family can find quick info on the trip.
One thing all can do now is make sure they have a Passport or have ordered a Passport. All info needed to get a Passport can be found on this link.
Yes, there will be postings here from Ghana, so your family and friends can follow the trip!
For now, all those going on the 2007 trip should introduce themselves. One thing you can also do NOW is tell us what your Ghanaian name is (along with your American name, of course!). The Ghanaian name simply comes from the day of the week on which you were born. To figure out the day on which you were born, go to this link.
Okay, so share who you are, your hopes and fears for the trip, and any questions you have.

I asked all my questions and can't think of any more (sad, I know).
My name is Kyle Kincaid and I am a junior. An experience that I hope to have while in Ghana, is being able to experience what their lifestyle is like. I hope to be able to visit with families and ask them what their challenges are and what their joys of living in Ghana are.
A fear that I have about venturing to Africa is not being able to comprehend the entire experience until I return home and the trip is already over.
Thinking about a question that I have for the trip, I have come up with the following: What are the greatest challenges facing children in the classrooms of Ghana?
My American name is Brenda McDonald
My Akan name is Esi
I hope to really absorb the culture and spirit of the Ghanaian people.
I fear that the trip will be too short and I will not want to come home to start classes.
Do we really have to take cold showers?
Greetings all. My name is Kira and I'm coming along on this trip from Texas. As such, I am still kind of behind on the details and it would be INCREDIBLY useful if somebody could provide me with, say, the dates of the trip? Anyone know what specific vaccinations and/or medications (malaria, etc.) are required?
I'm VERY much looking forward to this trip and can't wait to meet everyone involved!
