080807- Coincidence

Today we got up very very early at 4:00am because we were bound for Kakum Nation Park again (in fact we had been there on Monday) to see wildlife. Animals are always going to hide before dawning. So we have to grope our way in dark night and wait for them.

Wandering in Kakum forest with various unusual trees was an unforgettable and unexpected experience to me. Today we walked under canopy drawbridge. Tomorrow, uh-huh we are going to come again and walk on canopy walkway for birds watching. (So sad, we have to get up very very early.)

After forest tour, we were back to main road of Kakum. You guess what, we crossed by a woman, who was very familiar with someone we'd met before, but we were not sure who she was at that moment. As a matter of fact she was the Kakum tour guide first time we came with. Afterwards, we talked each other for a while and knew she was an orphan in childhood. And now she constructed an orphanage and adopted 10 children. Her story was really worth reporting we thought. Thus we went to visit the orphanage called "Horizon-Children's home" which means " Keep going on and on."

See, this is the house for orphans. Ms. Agnes Ampong, is a humor, energetic, kind and friendly woman. She has 3 jobs to raise these children. One is a Kakum National Park tour guide, the other is doing small business of vegetables, peppers and foods ingredients at home, and another is running "Horizon Children House". She keeps looking for anything else she can gain more money.



Though she is an orphan, she still dedicates to herself to those children. What she engaged in did touch us deeply in the hearts.

Due to Kakum, we know this story. Due to her, we realize one is devoted to herself back to her country, even she is poor and insufficient.

If you recognize this story, you can write her an email. She will be very happy to know you for sure. Email: stoughtonghana@yahoo.com Ms. Agnes Ampong. Address: P.O. Box 1508 Cape Coast, Ghana
