Finally Able to Update!

Dear loved Friends and Family,

I have missed you! As I am sure you have missed me actually posting this blog. ;) My greatest apologies. For some reason I have encountered every obstacle trying to continue my posts, even having to remake an entirely new blog site! I take it as a sign though, as we have been so busy traveling and encountering all the Ghana has to offer. With that please, make note of this new address:





But regardless of these, I continue to remain overwhelmed and in awe of the incredible privilege of this experience. Its emotional rollercoaster has humbled and taught me in every moment. I experience joy everyday from the people, the land, the opportunities and the mere existence of this experience. I am so thankful to those who have helped to get me here and those who support me.

So, ten days later! I don’t know where to start! Instead I will let a few photos tell the story. Check out the captions relating to each.

I truly love and am thinking of you all. I hope you ar well and in good health at home. I will see you at the end of august.

Wishing continued blessings,

-Shelley
