Christmas

Christmas day at Beacon House ... Thank you GIS - Ghana International School - for providing each child with a Christmas box .... with toys and new shoes/sneakers and clothes .. you have blessed us over the years with your generosity.

Donation at Ridge Hospital's Children's ward

A time for giving .... today some of the children visited Police Hospital and Ridge Hospital's children's ward. We sang, we danced, we gave presents - we all had fun.

Thank you International Players!!

Thank you International Players for a fun evening at this year's Cinderella panto - with singing, dancing and lots of laughter.
We were invited to the dress rehearsal. Get your tickets to the show on 10,11 and 12 December.

Little Benji

It was a long five hours for little Benji as he underwent operations for his Spina Bifida and hydrocephalus. We are thankful for the provisions of funds for his surgeries, for the skilled hands of the neurosurgeon and, of course, to God as He makes all things possible.

Preparing for Christmas

It was fun putting up the Christmas tree tonight -- thanks to the American International School (AIS) teachers for their help.
  

Please consider helping Benji.

Social welfare at Korle Bu Hospital (largest teaching hospital) in Accra has asked Beacon House for assistance with a baby boy, a.k.a Benjamin, who was born with Spina Bifida. Little Benji was abandoned at the hospital and needs funding for surgeries. Please consider helping Benji.

Thank you Team America ....

We love our dogs :)

A trip to the seamstress

A trip to the seamstress to get some of the children's school uniforms sewn.

 

Arrival of our first three eggs

We are happy to announce the arrival of our first three eggs! This is a positive sign that soon we will be producing eggs. Not only will the eggs supplement our children's food/protein but the sale of eggs will help our monthly food bill and household expenses.

One big happy family!

We are one big happy family! Abigail's sister, Michaela, came to Beacon House during her school break. We were happy to see her again after many years.

   

First day of school ...

It's back to school for some of our kids and they are happy about it.
Zoey (dog) is going to miss them!

Thank you

Josephine and Annamarie are thankful for a fun school break - they came to Accra from Bolgatanga - where they are attending boarding school. They were able to reunite with their friends at Beacon House and received new sneakers and backpacks (thanks Anna!!). Vacation time is over and it's now time to go back to school.

Class time

Preparing tomatoes for a few months of stew. Momma Comfort is a great teacher.

Simple solution

Beacon House's new charcoal iron .... With the electricity being so erratic ... lots of on/off and mostly OFF .... best to rely on the old charcoal iron.  Need to iron those uniforms since the children go back to school tomorrow.

Sewing time

Daniel sewing a button on his new school uniform.
Love his sweet smile!
