Pre-Departure Training in T.O.

We have just finished 8 days of training at the YMCA, and tomorrow we leave for Ghana. This past week all team members have been getting to know each other and the workshops we will be running. Seven of us have spent our nights in the Canadiana Backpackers Inn. I have posted some pictures of the nights out and the team building activities we've enjoyed such as karaoke night at the fox and fiddle and group dinners. Tonight everyone is getting packed and ready to go. The first group leaves at 11am on a delta flight and the second group later that day on the KLM flight. We will all meet up again in Accra on Sunday evening and begin our work with the youths in Ghana.
