what a special time in our lives...
getting to meet our sponsor child Adam Inusah. back in the summer of 2007, our dream would come true!
i posted the note i sent him once we finally were given the "okay" that we could share with him the "news that we were COMING!" i was so excited and couldn't believe that we were actually going to Africa and were going to get to meet Adam. (it just shows this world isn't so big afterall, anything is possible!)
after we'd arrived in Ghana, we took a small airline up to Tamale. then we met with Paul Azeka, our contact through World Vision, to hear out plans for meeting Adam the next day!
it was everything i'd hoped for...i was tremendously overwhelmed and realized once we left Adam, that i didn't get to hear him speak very much. He said a few special things: 'I love you', 'God bless you', and 'thank you'. and i also didn't get to see him play soccer...
i obsessed about this for a short time and was afraid it had the potential to ruin my experience b/c i regretted it so much. then i realized there were disposable video cameras that i could send out to adam and someone could film him playing soccer and get him speaking (even if it was in his own language, Dagbani) i've had much success sending him regular disposable cameras over the years. he'd take pictures and send the camera back to me and then i'd develop them, make doubles and mail him back the pictures! it is a great idea. so i did that with the video camera.
i got great footage of Adam playing soccer, holding a conversation (interview with Bawa) and also Paul Azeka speaking on behalf of World Vision...When i got home, i became a World Vision Child Ambassador for a year and got 4 children sponsored! i had hoped to get way more, and even had a few prospects to speak to large groups with a lot of planning, but unfortuantly those fell through. Regardless, i am thrilled that 4 new children became sponsored b/c of my story!
Anyways, below is the clip of Paul speaking on behalf of world vision, based on my request.
I highly encourage child sponsorship. i started in college and it's been 8 years now and i LOVE it!
