Only 3 more days! That is a crazy thought, I can't believe this trip is coming up so quickly! I have been preparing a lot the past few days. I started to pack some medical supplies that I will be carrying, such as band-aids and hydrogen peroxide. There are a lot more medications that we, as a team, are bringing down to Ghana. In addition, I have been packing my clothing which consists mostly of scrub bottoms and t-shirts for the clinic days! It is very interesting packing for Ghana, because it is going to be very hot, but also you need to wear protective clothing for the mosquitoes. So thin, light, long sleeve shirts and bottoms are good. Also I have to spray all of my clothes with some heavy duty insect repellent before I bring them to Ghana. Protection against the mosquitoes is very important and is heavily stressed. We are allowed to bring two bags on the trip. The goal is to fill one bag completely with medications and the other bag with belongings. It is all so exciting! I can not wait to go and experience a new country and culture! I hope that I can be a blessing to the people we are helping in Ghana!
