Our first group is headed out to Ghana. I can't even imagine how excited they must be. All the preparation, research, planning, and packing, and now they're on their way to meet their host teachers and see the country for themselves. I hope they have a fantastic experience.
It's always a kind of magic to me that we can get on a plane here in this world that we know, pass a few hours sitting in something that is still familiar, basically, and then get off it to explore that which is totally new. Even the quintessential discomfort of modern air travel can't take that away. We may be sort of disoriented, mildly dehydrated, and mostly lame (in my case) when we get there, but the point is that wonders await. How grand.
