Adventure Pending

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen!

Now begins my adventure to Ghana. Ok, I mean 19 days from now begins the adventure, but 19 days is negligible on a cosmic time scale anyway.

I probably won't be saying much before I head out, because my life in the states for the next 19 days is going to be pretty mundane. Glorious, but mundane. I'm going to lie in the Michigan sun with Aaron, sleep, and eat. And since you don't want to hear about any of that, I won't write about it :)

In case you don't already know, I'm spending this summer working for an NGO (non-governmental organization) called Unite for Sight. I will be primarilly stationed in Accra, Ghana, but will be working in local villages during most days. This blog is going to be mostly about my experiences working in the field, providing inexpensive eye care. In later posts, I'll be talking about exactly what that means.

For those of you in the band, I will not be alone in Ghana. The glorious Ben Long will be with me about half of time, when we are working in the same regions. Hopefully I'll be able to convince him to write a few posts :)

I'll hopefully be talking to you all much more frequently in about two weeks. Take care 'till then.
