With Whole Hearts

2016/11/12 By Dr. Jennifer Wilson

ght-2016-arrival

Welcome to Ghana!

If what just took place at the Accra airport is any indication of how this team is going to function, we are in for quite an incredible mission. I’m thankful to God to report that all 61 team members and ten thousand pounds of medical equipment have arrived safely in Accra without a hitch.

We were quite a sight at that airport let me tell you! As the men on our team were flexing their muscles loading the big trucks with sweat pouring down their faces, a local man said to me, “You people really work with your whole hearts, don’t you?” He is correct and we got out of the airport and back to the hotel in record time, thanks to an amazing team effort.

Claudia’s response: “Major props!”

Nurse Emma’s response: “There is some pretty great work going on here!”

They are so right!

We have been fed and watered and are now grabbing a very few short hours of sleep before the third and final leg of our journey.

Onward …

    What an amazing logistical exercise, just getting everyone and everything to the same place at the same time, and that’s before all the hard work really begins! Great respect.
    Val and I will remember to toast you all with an extra glass of wine each evening.

    The Day shift on the M/S floor has seen and read the reports. Keep up the “teamwork” and the sweating!
    We love pictures!
    Good work Jen W, Jen Mc, Lisa H, Carlye!

    Praise God. Praying that things move ahead just as well and for health and energy for each new day and situation.
