Chief Nana (pictured far left) gave us each a piece of Kente cloth (the most valuable cloth in Ghana) with each of our names stitched on the cloth. This is a very highly regarded gift in Ghana and was Nana's thank you to our group for helping his village (this was our whole group minus two - Pastor Jeff & Michael).
You would think that going to an orphanage wouldn’t qualify as light-hearted, but this is not so at the Beacon House. The kids there are well taken care of, and are always quite happy and joyful. They are ready to play and socialize with us the minute we walk in!
LOVE IT!
It hit me today what a blessing and a gift it is to be able to read and write and share something so simple with the children - reading them stories. :D
