A trip to the Anikroma Primary School

Amazed! Grateful! Blessed! There are so many words I could use to express how I felt yesterday after our visit to the Anikroma Primary School. A group of us took a long, bumpy bus ride to deliver various donated school supplies to this small, poor village school. The morning began as we watched and cheered on the preschoolers as they got up one at a time and said their A,B,C's.

Then we were greeted by several of the tribal leaders of the Anikroma village. The interpreter thanked and blessed us several times for all of the wonderful donations we gave to their children’s school.

For me, the true celebration began when the children left their classrooms and came over to us singing and dancing to African nursery rhymes. Of course, we joined right in and began clapping and dancing with them.

Some of the children then began opening boxes and looking through the different school supplies we donated. The teenagers were excited to find a big bin filled with various American magazines for kids their age and the little ones liked the pencil sharpeners we brought.

It was another wonderful day here in Ghana and another experience that I'll never forget.
