From the Newsletter
The country of Ghana has hydro-powered electricity, and so when there is no rain, there is no electricity. This happens quite often, considering that Ghana is so near the equator, and there is only one rainy season a year. At Sweetwater House, we have been blessed with a generator so that when needed, there can be fuel-powered electricity. However, on some occasions, electricity still does not come on at Sweetwater House. One possible scenario is that there may be low amounts of fuel in the country for a short period of time, and it cannot be spared to power the generator. In these cases, the girls at Sweetwater House will use charcoal-fueled irons to press their Sunday dresses or their fabric before they cut it in sewing class. The hot irons also function as a health tool by killing the larvae that may be laid in their clothes as they hang outside to dry. It is one of the “traditional” means to an end in Ghana. What a fabulous resource to have and know how to use!!!
