9/10/09- Today was a very productive and informative day! We wer
e fortunate enough to have 3 meetings today. The first was a representative of USAID who gave us some great insight into the water and sanitation challenges in Ghana. The second group were members of EWB-Ghana, who were excited and eager to partner with us in our project. They made connections for us with the Ghana Water Company in Accra, and were able to obtain the Axim Master Water Plan (which we have been asking for for 3 years!!). Our third meeting was with a hydrogeologist who works for the national water resource agency. He gave us some great information about the history of Ghana water systems, and invaluable information about water supply. All were very friendly, and we are VERY lucky to have their help. James, a partner with Western Heritage Home, arrived today to stay the night, and take us to Axim in the morning. He provided us with many laughs, and shared a few delicious meals with us (ok, and a few more glasses of Star). Now it's time for bed to get ready for an early rise to hit the road to Axim. We made some very helpful and crucial partnerships today, and we feel lucky to have met them all! Good night, and we'll post again when we have a chance.
