Mama Vic's Orphanage After Pictures

This is the before and after pictures for Mama Victoria's Orphanage in the country. We (The Deck Department) worked at the orphange every friday while we were in Liberia. We installed a Latrine and a Dormitory.
We are also having bunk beds made now.

Boti Falls

I went to Boti Falls for one night over the weekend. It was great I could hear the falls from my bug net. I was unable to actually swim in the waterfall itself because it was too dangerous, but I did swim close to them and was able to go behind them. The falls splits in two at the top. On the left side you can see the smaller half of the falls. The larger half is in the middle.

Elmina Castle

Elmina Castle is located in Elmina, Ghana. The castle was built as a trading post for gold, diamonds and lumber, but it was then conformed into a slave trading post. They would trade guns for natives that had been captured in Tribal Wars. Many slaves in the USA came thru this castle.

Finished Dorm

Before Leaving Liberia we completed some projects that we had been working on. This is the Boys Dorm that we built at Mama Victoria's Orphange in the city. We also renovated the Church giving it a new roof and some fresh paint as well as painting the rest of the orphange..

I have made it, Some highlights of the sail include Worship on the Bow. My roomate getting engaged, Seeing 150 dolphins swiming past, and of course all the wonderful sunsets with Jenn. We actually drifted for about 6 hrs along the Greenwich Meridian. I am now in Ghana and starting to explore, before surgeries and outreach really gets started. Today was a day of offloading Cars from the ship. Driving the cranes is always fun.
