Hi all! Jordan and I are away from site for a month to attend two different meetings, one called All-Vol (happening this weekend) that's a training for all of the PCVs in Ghana to get together and learn about different things and have some fun, and another called COS (or Close of Service) from May 6th-8th. So in between then, we have to get some work done in Accra, but we'll also be using the last of our vacation days to travel back down around the beach! Then heading back to site after COS conference just in time for the start of the 3rd (and final!) term of the school year.
Right now, our tentative date for leaving Ghana is August 1st. While we won't be home right away (we're taking some time to travel), we will most definitely be gone from Ghana, and want to make sure we don't miss any letters or packages because they were sent too late!
Letters: Please start sending these to the Accra office. The reason for this is that it usually takes a LONG time for mail to travel all the way north through the country to get to Tumu, and then probably just as long to get from the office in Tumu to my school! Also, as we're getting so close to the end, please don't even feel obligated to send a letter at all now...save your money and buy us some cheese when we get home and get together :) See the side bar for the Accra address.
Packages: We really don't need ANYTHING at this point in time! So no need to send anything :)
Thanks to everyone that has sent anything the past two years! We've REALLY appreciated it!
Can't wait for you guys to get home but enjoy your last few months there and your travels. We will look forward to having you over for dinner in August so you can tell us about all your adventures!

When I told Anne you would be home in Aug she said "Finally!" "I'm sad for the Ghana people but happy for us" ": )
