This week the women from Holland who built the orphanage arrived. It's been a bit crazy, I don't think the Ghanaians like having her here. I went with her and Leo to Cape Coast yesterday and it was a difficult day. I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I have gotten used to the Ghanaian culture but at the same time I can relate to the European white woman, so she and Leo both look to me when they are sort of arguing.
When Henriette first arrived, she asked me what I was doing here and I told her about Mercy's Dream, and how we want to get sponsors for all the kids. I'm not sure how she took it, but she replied with, "Well, you know we already have sponsors for all the children to pay for schooling, food, etc." I was taken aback and just said, "Yes, and we want to help you." I'm not sure what she thought of me. However, last night I was talking to her and she was saying how things are becoming more expensive and they will appreciate our help with getting sponsors for the children. I think she likes me because she has invited me to go with her and Leo whenever they have to go somewhere. I have been very lucky to go to some rural villages. One had no electricity and we had to walk thru trees and a beach to get to it. And we went to Cape Coast and attended some village meetings.
Saturday we are taking the kids to the beach :)
