Day 4 in Liberia

Thursday, the day after our late arrival in Monrovia, we did some shopping for foods and materials and had a meeting with all of the board members. We are very lucky to have many established, well educated and honorable people to be assisting and guiding us in our journey.

Friday, our plans were to leave around 10am at the latest and head to the interior. We met our first problem when one of our drivers, Sam, was put into jail for arguing with a policeman. Honorable Fiiandor, a friend and leader in the community and the one providing the drivers and vehicles for our travels, had to go get him out and we expected to be on our way soon. Many things happened, many I am unsure of, but leaving for Ganta was not one of them. We ended up leaving around 4:30pm after much delay and safely made it to Ganta around 10pm.

Today, Saturday, we are in Ganta. Everything is going great with the work and the relationship building. I got to work with all of the volunteers. They worked on the porch and the kitchen of the community house today. Kaleigh spent most of her day being called "white woman," playing with the children of the community, and speaking with many women of the community.

We will try to upload pictures but the connection is sporadic. We are fine and having great success with our mission so far. More later!
