My friend in Atlanta, Marcia Ledford, has been to Ghana two times with me. Her husband, Tom, has a client who is in the “book” business and he asked them to ship some books to Hawkins Library at Sweetwater House. Not only did they ship the books, but they paid for the shipping.
Agnes, our Executive Director, sent me these photos showing the girls with some of the books. The shelves are “filling” up. They sent some very practical books (cooking, gardening, even Pre-Algebra, etc.). I have no doubt that all of these books will be a great tool at SWEETWATER HOUSE. I even noticed in the photos that there are some “cook books”, so for some of the girls who like cooking better than sewing…..they can get some new, tasty ideas. 
As you can see in a few of the photos, the girls were AMAZED at the pop-up books. They may have never seen these before. We are so thankful that Tom Ledford and his friends wanted to bless our home in this tangible way and provide some resources that will equip our girls more and more to become leaders in their communities. I think the girls will get lots of new ideas! Our God is supplying all of our needs in Ghana….plus some of our “wants”. I will be going to Ghana in September and will get to see the books myself. THANK YOU, Tom and friends, SO MUCH.
