Our Austrian friend, Edi Schmickl, arrived in Ghana on the 17th for a visit and today he delivered some medical supplies to the local clinic! Thanks also to Eva Strotzka for collecting the goods!

Major buzz...because the local Dekpor Central Shops hair salon is about to open! So many products and supplies were purchased and today Linda spent hours with Obed, Mavis and Doris going through the inventory!

Measuring for uniforms took place today. Stay tuned for more info and the album! Thanks again to Aurora Preparatory Academy for this most wonderful donation!

Although Linda just arrived back in town, they managed to distribute some of the goods from the July shipment to the school!  More shipment photos will follow in the next while!

Carol picked up 9 bags of jerseys, shorts, and socks from Aurora FC! Thanks for your continued support! 

Linda and her daughter, Kara, left for Ghana with 8 DSDO suitcases in tow.  A special thanks to Natalia Kostiw who picked up 5 suitcases from Carol to take to the airport.  Another thanks to Susan Heagy who transported Linda and her luggage to Pearson Airport from London. Susan had donated 3 suitcases full of fabric in the load she delivered to the airport.  Teamwork!

Read about how Date Night at Aurora Preparatory Academy is a special thing! Carol was thrilled to pick up a cheque today for $3300! Stay tuned, as this generous gift will be put towards uniforms for our most needy students at Dekpor Basic School!
