Fathers Ministry Childrens Home

Our last day in Ghana I went on a SAS trip to an orphanage in Takaradi.  We spent the entire day playing with the kids.  Like with the SOS children's village in morocco SAS presented them with an indestructible soccer ball which I then learned a little more about.  The material they are made of is the same as is used to make crocks and this is the first semester that SAS has given them out.  It was a fun day and I will be bringing home lots of pictures and hopefully some video's that some others took. 

The next day (Monday) we crossed the equator and the prime meridian at the same time.  Not many people can say that because it is not the usual route, our captain had to make some adjustments to make it possible for us.  Apparently we traveled down the prime meridian for a while so I can say that I have been in two hemispheres at once.  Pretty cool!

Today there has been lots of studying going on because our first test in Global Studies (the class everyone is required to take) is tomorrow.  Tomorrow is also Neptune Day.  It is all very hush hush about what exactly is going to happen other than we are going to have lots of fun.  But I have heard rumors of getting woken up really early.  I hope not because I need sleep the night before a test.  Some of my friends are planning on shaving all their hair off.  Not me and not Evergreen but we will be cheering them on.
