we arrived @ the airport early evening & it was an adventure from the start. The taxi ride to the ferry in itself was like a simulation of the Indiana Jones Adventure Ride at Disneyland. Then hoping on the ferry just in time for the last ride of the day. We made it around midnight to the Restore Hope Center, which was our home for the first two & a half weeks. Shockingly I wasnt jet lagged whatsoever & woke up refreshed the next day. What a wonderful & gorgeous view it was to wake up to. I forgot how lush, green, & beautiful this country is!!!
Friday afternoon we went into Yams Farm Village to see where we would be working for our field service. Driving into the village was something I'll never forget & always cherish. All the children & adults waving & running after our Poda Poda (our means of transportation pictured below)
They were all so welcoming & ecstatic that we were there. I felt so priveleged & honored at that moment that I could be apart of this. They needed help building a Latrine ( Toilet) for the Primary School. The hole had already been dug & they just needed the extra hands & strong muscles : ] to help complete the project. 
We had the grand tour of the village compliments of Pastor Mark (pictured below with his wife Hawwa)whos runs the primary school & Word of Life church.
These lovely little ladies are some of my newfound buddies from Yams Farm Village.
There is more to come from the 1st week of us working there in just a few days : ]
