Training Daze...

Some have asked us about training. One of the things we will do in Ghana is mix and pour concrete...but there is no ready-mix truck available and we will do it all by hand.

On the May long weekend we gathered at the Stogryn farm and mixed some comcrete in as close to an authentic Ghanaian manner as possible. All by hand, but the weather was a bit different. Rather than 30+ degrees and humind, it was 8 degrees, raining and windy. But we did it anyway.

Then we spent time together planning other parts of the mission, including organizing our bags for packing. And then...some slept - it was a tiring day, but good and we all felt like something has been accomplished. Here are some pics.

Unpacking the luggage and getting it ready to be filled....


Dave found himself a bit tired after all that...
Well, there are only 29 days left to departure. He should be awake by then!
