Yawmatwa is a village in northwestern Ghana

An African boy who attends Jr High School took this picture. I'll be posting his photographs from time to time.

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!

The right spelling is "Yamatwa."

He took this picture of a friend of his on a bike. The little boy on the left is the photographer's brother.

He takes the pictures with his iphone.

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.

Danny, Age 25, March 2013

Taken by a class-mate of Danny's on Danny's iphone.

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.

Where Daniel Lives, Sunyani, Ghana, April 8, 2013

My youngest daughter recently moved to New York City and took the original color picture yesterday.

I cropped and edited it.

She wants to be near her husband. lol He moved there a couple of weeks ago from Tampa in order to get a better paying job. They live with a sister and two of his brothers, who have been in New York City now for 4 years. They live in the Bronx (she says literally only a stone's throw away from Yankee Stadium.) She said she just got a job, so things are looking good for them. But please pray for them. They do live in a wild and crazy town. He is not SDA but he's a dedicated Christian and he enjoys attending the SDA church with her. She said they found an SDA church not very far from where they live.
