A couple things. One, Chris and I did go and get our follow-up Hepatitis shot today. We'll need one more in June and then, other than the oral anti-Malaria medication we'll take over there, we're all done with the preemptive medical details.

Two, I just received a substantial donation in the mail. Should I take this as a sign? "Don't worry about the extra expense of going to Ghana through an organization, it's covered."

The "other options" I sat down to write about on Sunday (but ended up getting distracted writing about all the wonderful aspects of Tumaini) are OrphanAid Africa, which costs 800 Euro (today that translates to $1,170), Global Volunteer Network, which costs $797, Disaster Volunteers of Ghana costs $550, and Global Crossroad is $1,259. As far as I can tell, these four organizations are not evangelical, and I would be able to work with children, either in orphanages or schools, in Ghana. The cost is definitely more than the $20/week at Tumaini, but it's also not nearly as high as Cross Cultural Solutions.

Again, prayers would be appreciated.
