A Difference Place

Today we traveled to Sammie, the home of one of the original 40 CRC children.  Even though it is only about 52 miles away, it took over an hour and a half to get there.  We had pavement for the first 6-7 miles but we were truly 4-wheeling the rest of the way.  There were several places that if we did not have four wheel drive we would not have been able to get any further.  We saw a lot of beautiful scenery along the way and even some mountains.  

We got to see the house where one of the original boys lived before the war.  There are two families living in the village that are participating in the family support program.  We met the village chief and got to see cocoa drying.  From there, we went to the primary school where about 400 children attend.  The school headmaster is a gentleman who began teaching 30 years ago.  There are 10 teachers, three of whom are volunteers.
