Our Ghana Tour of humanitarian projects

We spent 3 days this past week touring some projects.  We had Clarence Kofi and Bro. John Buah with us.  Clarence is a site monitor and manages the projects (thank goodness for him) and Bro. Buah is the Area Welfare Manager.   Clarence did  the driving and that was nice for us -  he knows his way around rather well and of course knows where the projects all are.  We did drive on some wild back wood roads which I will send some pictures of later and write about them.  I do this in a few different emails so that it shows up properly on the blog.  It might take me a day or two to write and send pictures of our tour. 

These pictures show a mechanized water system that Latter-day Saint Charities has completed.  We hadn't seen 'standpipes' before but they are great.  The people can stand under the pipe and fill their container while it is still on their head.  It saves them having to lift it on their head when it is full.   Also, notice how they take their shoes off before entering to get the water so that they keep the area clean.
