So the team has left Amsterdam and has about 7 hrs? to Accra.

They are going to be getting LOTS of media coverage. Ghanas largest newspaper has been interviewing pre-crew & will be at the airport to greet the students. National television will be there as well. This will be a good opportunity not only to highlight efforts to impact in a positive way the Ghanian students by giving them tools ( computers) and training them on maintainance.

It also will be a wonderful opportunity for Mr Labi & Kyirenkum, to gain publicity for their village.
Now that she is off I am able to appreciate all her hard work & congratulate myself for helping her access this opportunity. Go me!

It can even be good that Bush will be there- he hasn’t been totally incompetent in every way & I do not think he is mean spirited.

He is still the president- even if a majority didn’t elect him.

It may even get their efforts more publicity back in US ( a television station will reportedly be here in Seattle to greet them-)

I hope she remembers to bring me back some soil.
