Humbled Honored Hopefilled

Recently in Phoenix Arizona I trained next year's volunteers for IFESH.
At the closing ceremony dinner I was presented with an award for the work I completed in Ghana by my country representative. I was caught off guard as I had no idea this was even a practice of IFESH. When given a chance to speak I simply looked out at the roomful of colleagues and stated: I am humbled to receive such recognition. I am honored to be standing in this room with you. I am hopefilled as you prepare for your time in Africa.

My daughter, Marissa, is going to work with me to write my book.
I have also made several connections to help me with establishing the NGO in Bechem.
The World Cocoa Foundation has asked me to speak for them in upcoming events.
It seems IFESH and the World Cocoa Foundation as planning an educational conference to be held in Accra, Ghana in May 2007!

And I thought my time in Ghana was finished......
