A Night Out


(Nursing staff and friends)

(Kat and I in our African attire)


The Minister of Health of Ghana invited all of us to Accra for an evening of festivities- as a 'thank you' on behalf of Ghana. We were picked up my buses (by far the nicest I've seen since my time in Ghana) and escorted by police to the capital.


Once there, we were escorted up to a banquet hall where there was a band and appetizers for all of the crew. Speeches and testimonies made by Mercy Ships executives and Ghana representitives, then the music started and the fun began. The Minister of Health himself played for us on the drums- so much fun...

When we left, we were given 200+ boxes of plaintain chips and 200+ bags of Ghana 50th yr celebration tee-shirts and hats. Needless to say, our arms were full.
