Humbling


Our last couple of days in Ghana were heart felt. As we traveled back from the Volta region and began winding down, we had one more activity schedule. On our last day of activities we went  and did community service at an hospital and donated school supplies to children. The hospital made me so thankful for what I have here in the US. I couldn't imagine feeling horrible and going to a hospital in those conditions to receive care. We then traveled to a school to donate supplies. These children were so grateful for everything they we offered. They were curious about me and one even asked for my email address. This experience has inspired me to stop taking my education for granted and be thankful for the small things. I really came away from this activity with a determination to take advantage of everything at my fingertips.
