Thanks to the generosity of August Prep students in an effort led by Nolan Brandon, the kids at the orphanage have new clothes! Before, the children only had about two pairs of ill-fitting clothes that were ragged and patched. When we received the money, the host mother was able to spend a happy day shopping in Accra. She returned with new outfits that fit - at least two articles of clothing for each of the ___ kids. My mom's whimsically functioning camera refused to take more pictures, but this picture is a good way to go out for the venerable and well-traveled camera. The total money received, although it may not go very far in when of our malls in the US, exceeded the monthly salary of a teacher and doubles the monthly salary of a manual laborer in Ghana. The kids are very happy, and the host mother is most appreciative. Thank you for helping. For those who participated, and even though you will likely never meet the sixteen young orphans in Akwatia, Ghana, you can know that you made a positive difference in their lives.
