Day 2 in Ghana

Today was another amazing day, completely full and completely awesome. We hired a driver (since we can't drive here and the traffic is unreal) to take us to Village of Hope. This is an orphanage sponsored by the Church of Christ, and they house 178 kids and provide education for another 200 or so during the school year. They serve 14 villages around them. Compared to the last orphanage there were some marked differences and some similarities. Differences: the place was incredibly clean, organized and huge!! they have over 25 acres, and lots of cool buildings for the kids to live in, each with a house Mom and Dad, very well groomed all the way around. the similarities: these kids just make you smile man! every single one of them is just happy to be alive and have somebody to love them, it's truly amazing!
