More Ghana Pics

So the first post of Ghana was just the start. Actually, my computer's wireless card stopped working so I haven't had the internet for a week. So I decided to use Dan's pics now!
These are pictures of us building and installing the windmill.





These are the children we were building the windmill for to give then light to read at night.






This merry-go-round produces electricity for the children to recharge their lanterns, now our windmills electricity will be stored in the same battery and will give the children the opportunity to charge 15 more lanterns.

Under the giant mango tree the 5th grade meets. The mangos on the tree really were huge.

we met the kids who live in the village Myna where we installed the windmill. They were so shy its like they never saw a white girl before.


They eventually warmed up.







This is the windmill producing light! yeah it worked!


These children do not have much as seen by they still live in mud huts. They are farmers but have of the year there is a drought where they live.
