Guest Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Yes, I sure do remember it-- how could I ever forget?!! LOL Hey, aren't you going to need help getting all that stuff cleaned up? I do plan to get back there somehow some time in the next couple of years, though, since I need to see family in eastern Tennessee as well as my friend in North Carolina. I'll let you know well ahead of time so maybe you can get off work for a day. That will be great! Quote

Moderators John317 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Moderators Posted March 10, 2013 Most people in Ghana make less than $1.50 a day. 20% of the youth have no work at all. And a high percentage of the people do not even have a toilet where they live. Ghana was the first African nation south of the Sahara to be granted its independence. It recently celebrated Independence Day. Everyone speaks English in addition to one of its many different tribal dialects. Chinese is also a popular langauge because of Ghana's very close relationship to China.

A student in 9th grade at an SDA school in Sunyani, Ghana, Danny has given me permission to post his photographs on the Adventist Forum. We've been chatting on IM for close to a year now. Danny could not afford to study in the high school when was younger, so he had to drop out in order to help support his family. Now he is sacrificing for his education. He lives in a small single room and often goes hungry. His parents and two older brothers live in a village too far away for visits except during vacations.
