I feel I am a part of the culture!!

Kelsey shares about leaving Ghana with a changed heart!

When I first arrived everything felt so new but three months later I feel I am a part of the culture. It is not abnormal now for me to be carrying on my head a bucket full of water or things from the farm. I have grown to love this culture. I am not ready to leave this beautiful place yet. I am living every day to its fullest and so happy and thankful that I was given this opportunity. This has by far been the best and most meaningful experience of my life. I am leaving here with a changed heart, a new outlook/appreciation on life and a grown person. I am happy that I can now call this place home and my family here will stay close to my heart forever and I will always consider them as my family. (Kelsey, STU/Ghana 09)
