Voluntary work in Ghana 2012 July 8th until July 22nd

I have been donated money by friends,Tom Leonard and Maurice Stephens from America who i met on Facebook on my RP Support Group ,both are visually impaired with a rare eye disease Retinitis Pigmentosa, in my spare time i help support people like Tom and Maurice , i also had money donated by Gina Potter and Annastacia Fulcher from Ireland ,i met Annastacia on facebook and Gina via this blog which i post on Cancer Sites to help inspire people to be positive , Gina is a Cancer survivor after being diagnosed with Bowel Cancer she is now in recovery .

With Maurice`s and Anna`s donations i am using this towards my travelling costs to get me to the schools each day and to cover my accomodation costs .

With Tom and Gina`s money i have bought school equipment .............. i also intend to buy goats ,food and material when i am in Ghana if we are allowed by the organisers.

With the money donated so far i have bought books,crayons,stickers ,baseball bat and ball ,frisbees ,bouncy balls ,two small blackboards to be used for outdoor games and school work ,pens ,coloured and whitepaper ,loads of arts and crafts ,paints ,balloons ,rubbers and lots lots more !!!!!


Thanks to Gina ,Annastacia ,Maurice ,Tom there will alot of happy children when i arrive in July !:))
I forgot to mention a special thankyou to my friend Judith Tucker who has delivered a big box of arts and crafts to my house for the children and lots of bats and balls etc :))

Volunteering to work in Africa (Ghana) is a life changing experience; you are not just putting money into a collection tin and walking away ...........................

APRIL 6TH 2011,MY MRI RESULTS ARE BACK FROM THE HOSPITAL ,my doctor phoned me in work and i have been told after 7 years my tumour is virtually the same ,my doctor said it is pretty stable in it`s dimensions except for a marginal increase in the size which is not very significant !!:)

Looks like my running and positive thinking has paid off :))))!!

I can now focus on my trip to Ghana in July where i am going to help teach children the English language and most important of all my son`s wedding in August !:)
