Round one of incoming donations

Seriously. Do it. Then come back.
Remember when I said I needed supplies? Well, I sent out a little email with a list about 2 weeks ago. Yesterday, after packing just half of the donations received along with my own supplies, I nearly toppled over trying to lift my bag. How am I going to sling this thing on a bus when I leave Accra? Just hours after asking myself this question, I received a check in the mail that would afford a second rolling duffle to redistribute the weight and cover the extra airline fee. Can you believe it? The universe has finally aligned in the name of a greater good! (Sounds nice, right? Just don’t ask how it so thoroughly screwed up my vaccination schedule.)
Today, when lunching with a friend who added to the collection, I was overcome with emotion at the outpouring of support from so many people. Yeah, I got all teary eyed and forced myself to breathe before I had a public meltdown. I’m SUCH a baby. But really, this list is incredible… If only you could see it all in person!
