St Anna's Children's Home - Gallery

 

Gallery / Time Line

After a pretty laborious task of weeding the plot, the building of St Anna's begun! Building happened in Ghanaian time, which in other words meant slowly...

Since the completion of the home, 9 children have moved in.  Since then both Gabby and some volenteers have been to visit, opposite are some of their photos.  Emelia regularly updates us with photos and as soon as we get them we will ensure to put them up, but in the mean time please feel free to click on the thumbnails to see large versions of the home so far.
