I haven't been able to blog as much as I would like lately due to power outages and the local internet stations being down, but I want to take advantage of this short time I have this Sunday evening to recap some of the past weeks events. The new volunteers who arrived about a week ago seem to be fitting right in. Today we went to the Wli waterfalls and had a great time. The waterfall was so beautiful and the gift shops they had there were full of wooden scultures and African beads. It was another great experience here in Africa. The world cup also started on Friday and the whole country is very excited for it being that soccer is a huge sport here and South Africa is hosting it. These past couple days we have sat with our host family and watched the games on television. Today Ghana beat Serbia in an amazing penalty kick in the last few minutes of the game. It was very exciting and everyone came out yelling after Ghana won the game. The children at the orphanage continue to amaze me and we even received a new little boy. It will be very interesting to see how he makes the transition to living a not so good life with his little sister, and then to be surrounded by multiple children all the time. He is better off though and I wish the best for him. I am encouraged to type fast and keep it short because the power could go out any minute. I will write more as soon as I get the chance.
