August 4, 2007: Our Journey Begins Tomorrow!

Saying goodbye to loved ones, last minute preparations, packing and repacking, a bit of anxiety about the unknown and unexpected, and a possibly sleepless night as the excitement builds just before we leave for our Habitat Global Village Build.

We have created this site to record our journey and experiences as we travel to Ghana to work with the Kyekyewere affiliate in the Ashanti Region near Kumasi. We hope to post something every day, sharing our stories, insights, and even pictures of the build. Hopefully, we will all be writing over the next few weeks, so it's probably safe to say that there will be a great deal of diversity in how we record this experience.

As of this posting there will be fourteen of us: Amy Bush, Catherine Heaton, Liz Jerrels, Ann Joo, Dawn Kraklio, Larry Mosher, Ned Murphy, Kristian Navickas, Niti Patel, Kelly Saunders, Ken Schafermeyer (our team leader), Terry Shaw, Mary Walbridge, and Amanda Zlatkus.

If you want to know a bit about where we will be building, you can go to:

So, come along this journey with us and please contribute comments when you can. It is always good to hear from friends and loved ones when you are far away from home.

Terry,
The Scarcella Girls miss you! I'm still driving around trying to find my way home from JFK. Just kidding. Love you,
