Readying for Cape Coast

Volunteers from Global Mamas’ Krobo and Cape Coast locations regularly find themselves at the Accra house to gather provisions, or upon exiting or entering the country. Assignments vary from working on the batiking effort that takes place in Cape Coast or the beading work that takes place in Krobo.

Shawn has been assigned to the larger office in Cape Coast, located about four hours east and up the coast from Accra. We are scheduled to make our way there on Tuesday, giving us tomorrow to finish any final preparations and to give Shawn a chance to meet with some manufacturers as part of Global Mamas’ developing shea butter and “black” soap production.

We also hope to see a bit more of Accra.

Talking to the other volunteers has only deepened our excitement about seeing Cape Coast and meeting our host family, whose hospitality has received rave reviews.

I miss you guys already! It's getting cold here already, too - you took the sun with you.

Nice hair, Greg.
