My feet are on AFRICAN ground! The team landed in Accra, Ghana around 7:30am (3:30 GA time). Our flight from New York was about 15 hours and actually better than I thought it would be.
The team is so wonderful! Everyone is so friendly and ready to help the kids! The Alliance for Smiles Ghana team consists of 24 volunteers, both medical and non medical members.
We arrived at our hotel around 10:00. We are staying at Central Hotel near the hospital that we are working at. Everyone is chilling out right now. Napping, unpacking, sitting outside, getting to know each other. I am on our small netbook looking out at the hotel pool....YES the hotel has a SMALL pool.... BUT we will definitely need it after the end of a 10 hour work day. The weather here is VERY humid and it is around 90 degrees! Normal weather for us south Georgia folks!
Well I am getting ready for a team lunch then off to gather last minute supplies! I hope everyone is well! I can't wait to post some pics and start meeting the kids!!
PEACE and BLESSINGS :) AMBER
