June 04 ReflectionsAfter an overnight flight from Accra we are at Amsterdam Airport from where we will soon make the last leg of our journey home, Dororthy to Leeds and James and I to Dublin and then back to Lisburn
It seems a long time since we overlooked the Lake at breakfast time yesterday and watched local childeren walk past in the blue and yellow school uniforms we remember so well from last year
Our last day at devotions was led by Dorothy and there was a full turnout of Clinic personnel to say farewell
I don't think we can fully understand the apreciation felt by the Staff at the Clinic for the contribution Seymour Street and friends have made by extending the Clinc and this was evident when James presented a laptop computer to the Pharmacy department kindly donated by Melanie Dowden
Goodbyes on these occasions are filled with mixed emotions, however one thing is certain and that is this trip was meant to be
looking back, we didn't get see the Bishop, yet the Hospital has been dedicated and is in use and another one of those babies - a little girl - arrived on Tuesday night
It has been a privilege for James, Dorothy and I on behalf of the 2008 Ghana Team to have been part of the next stage of the development of the work of the Methodist Clinic at Lake Bosumtwe and I don't think any of us will ever realise the impact of this facility on the local area
I'll confirm our final update when we get home and look forward to bringing everyone up to date soon
Regards
Tom
