Seth continues the project to build a school in Africa


Sunday, September 18

food and ¢500,000 to the orphanage

Day four, no water. This morning the workers here told me that I needed to pay for breakfast when I requested my meal. I had been told breakfast was included in the price I am paying per night. Not a big deal, but Charles is going to find out the story tomorrow. If they are going to charge me I will go and eat breakfast at the school instead.
I was planning on sleeping in this morning and had told Charles of my intentions because I was not going to be attending church with them. At 8am Charles called twice to make sure my phone was working. I was fully awake by the second call and so I was not able to rest like I had wanted.
I took the trotro to the kotes junction around 11am where I had planned on walking over to Mary Star of the Sea and taking some pictures while there were no students around but it turns out that the school is used for church services on Sunday so I was unable to continue as planned. I walked by the school project and took some pictures of the progress. I then made my way to Charles’ house. After lunch we borrowed a car from the soon to be chief Humphrey and headed to the orphanage, (good Shepard orphanage). When we arrived we were greeted by the founder of the orphanage, a bishop, who also has a son by the name of Seth. They laid out the FGUCC donation on a table in front of the children. The children sang songs to welcome us including, holy holy holy, jesus loves the little children and even a Ghanaian rendition of old McDonald. We formally donated the foods and ¢500,000 to the orphanage. They were all very grateful of the donation and Charles said that the rice and other foods should last them about 2 weeks. They asked god to bless the people of the FGUCC for their generosity and kindness.
On the way back we got some coconuts to eat and then simply relaxed in lawn chairs outside until dinner (fufu) was ready.
