I'm on my way!

Well the journey has begun. My luggage is checked through and I anxiously await my flights to Amsterdam and then Accra. I have experienced many emotions this week but due to the strong love and support from family and friends I am stepping forward into this odyssey. It was a challenge to pack for 10 months; 140 pounds later I succeeded. I have also shipped about 300 pounds of books and supplies ahead of my arrival. It is hard to believe I am actually doing this a few years ago this was merely a dream.
