Atop the first building I saw stepping off the plane was this one word: Akwaaba. So in the true spirit of this blog I say to you, "Akwaaba." After returning from Chile, S. America I was often asked, "So how was it?" And more often than not it was extremely difficult to relay in that moment what I felt was an adequate answer (i.e. for me at least, I am aware we often ask questions not expecting a genuine answer :)). Therefore I have decided to keep a blog of my time here in Accra, Ghana.But above all this is my small way of doing virtually what I cannot accomplish in reality, which is bring all of my family and friends here with me to experience Ghana for themselves! Maybe one day I will be able to, who knows.
This is my first time blogging and I will be first to say I don't know all the "rules." One aspect of my blog however I would love for you to pay close attention to is the very end. At the end of every blog, I will dedicate each blog to someone(s) who I believe deserve some recognition and since I can't pull an Oprah and buy everyone cars, this is my little way of saying "thank you" and "I am thinking of you."
I hope you enjoy the blogs and your comments are welcomed!
Peace and Love,
Donte

Donte' I thank God for you and the protection that He has provided during your traveles over the past year. You are truly a blessing to family, friends and all that you have come in contact with. We thank you and celebrate you for the time that you have taken to give of yourself to others, knowing that you gave because of the love you have for Jesus and the people you have encountered.
