Leaving Africa...







Well, the day has arrived for us to depart Accra. We are all sad - George Faile and his wife Elisabeth are here with us at the Guesthouse. They are on our same flight back to the States.....it was good to reminisce over dinner our past wonderful few weeks at the Baptist Medical Centre. We leave here different people, touched by the people we have met, moved by the patients we worked with and shaped by this entire experience. It's hard to describe all the emotions we will have as we board the plane this morning. We hope we have forged new friendships that will last a lifetime and that WVU and BMC can work together in the future providing top quality healthcare to those that desperately need it.






We have a long day ahead - we leave for the airport in a few minutes. The slave castles were amazing yesterday - I have posted three shots of those. Enjoy and talk to everybody soon !

I just checked Delta flight # 167 - You are in the air and on your way home to us! We are so happy to have you back. Several of you are about to become officially 'real' doctors, (I am proud to be personally acquainted with Kavara and Tracey), but we know it actually happened in Africa. Congratulations and welcome home!
