Home soon ...

The Ghana'09 team has finished their Penny Project related efforts in Kumasi, Ghana. Today, they said their difficult goodbyes to so many they have met during this trip. Tomorrow, very early (4:00am), they will leave their hotel and travel to visit the Cape Coast Castle as they make their way back toward Accra, and their trip home. Earlier this month, President Obama toured the Cape Coast seaside fortress that the British used as slave dungeons during the 17th century. You may have seen it on national news programs. After spending Monday night in their hotel in Accra, the team will begin the long trip back to Birmingham, arriving at the First Church parking lot close to 11pm Tuesday night. Prayers for their safe trip home are more than welcomed.
Their final blog entry from Africa follows here from Mallory Hinz.
