The Ripple Effect

I'm sitting in the Amsterdam airport waiting for my flight to Atlanta with lingering thoughts of Ghana.  There are a few additional things I would like to share before totally shifting my energy to home and the new adventures that await me there.

Here we are with the headmistress and a teacher at EP Ho Primary School.  This computer lab was opened by CIH in partnership with another NGO (name escapes me at the moment -will add later).

We showed up the Friday before this last to the entire school gathered outside.  Come to find out the Ghanaian dept. of education surprised the school by awarding them 24 new laptops.   When they were done with the ceremony of awarding them, the kids went crazy cheering.  It was a very exciting moment and I am sure this happened because of the computer lab that is already in place (which REALLY needed more computers in order to accommodate more of a full class).  Thanks so CIH efforts we witnessed the ripple effect and I'm sure there will be lots more!!

And as a result of the computer lab and Kelvin's efforts to get the internet back up and running, the teachers and headmistress were able to skype with Amy this past Wed. and see her baby.  It was a joyous sort of reunion- Amy has had a relationship with this school for 6 years and they all love her.  Everyone was so expressive and excited to connect with Amy- it really was a moving and emotional experience.
