One year

Since I've been fundraising to go to Ghana! And also, I'm a whole year older than I was when I started... Yay! I leave in 4 days. It's incredible!

Keep up on here, everyone. :)

Not that I'm counting down or anything....

But I'll just let you know that there's exactly 16 days left until I go to Ghana. No big deal! :) :) :) :) I'm so excited! I had my Hep A and menengitis vaccines and still have to take the four pills to vaccinate typhoid. So you can imagine how I'm feeling right now! Bleh, yeah. Good news is: I'll be 17 when I go to Africa!
Keep up on here, everyone. The exciting stuff will come in 16 days!

One month !!

Oh my. It keeps hitting me in waves that I, Lena Grout, am going to AFRICA for the first time. In less than a month, too! I am so excited, it's incredible. I have no idea what it's going to be like when I get there, so I've given up on trying to imagine it. What an opportunity of a life time!
I had my yellow fever vaccination about a month ago, and let me tell you, it was terrible! But SO SO SO worth it. I'm days from getting the typhiod and menengitis shots, too - thank goodness. After that, I get my visa and then I'm off !!!!
I want give another big thank you for the people who donated even just a little bit. If it weren't for anyone that did, than my dream wouldn't be coming true right now! Also, thank you for following my blog :) I'll see if I can keep it up while I'm abroad.
Love and light !
