Arrival in Accra

2010/10/31 By Dr. Jennifer Wilson

We have landed safely in Accra and were welcomed by the Minister of State who simply waived us through customs with all of our bags. An African band played while the luggage was loaded onto the truck.

The Department of National Defence is escorting us on our ten hour journey tomorrow to ensure safe passage with all of the drugs.

Thanks to God for his protection and care. We are thankful for everyone’s prayers on our behalf.

Dr. Jennifer Wilson Jennifer Wilson, a physician in Uxbridge, Ontario, launched GRID’s annual health team several years ago and continues to lead it. She and her husband Graham are committed to alleviating suffering among Ghana’s poor. Jennifer is a board member of GRID.
