Anne Gongwer was with us during the work in the first village. She was an invaluable bridge of understanding between the two cultures. In the village, Anne spent time one on one with various people. There were also times that I saw her talking to whole groups of young men. We were especially grateful that in her gentle way, and with understanding of the Ghanaian culture, she could respond to the difficult requests that we heard. We would not have known how to answer as helpfully as she did. For the team, Anne's presence was a real refreshment. We were sorry when she needed to return to her responsibilities in Accra. We are looking forward to seeing the Gongwers for dinner when we return to Accra on the way home. --Sue
