Meet Maggie Ocran

Post by Mai

​I wanted to  introduce everyone to Maggie finally!  She has become the Ghanian extension of Hearts for Hearts who makes sure our medical supplies are going to the right places.  Maggie was a big help to us when we were in Ghana last year and is even more valuable to us when we can't be there in person but still want to be able to help.  

We ship the boxes to Maggie's attention at the school where her husband works in the Cape Coast area.  She pays the customs fees required to pick up the boxes of medical supplies and then takes them to the locations where we worked in July 2017.  Maggie just sent me the photos below which puts a smile on my face, but also makes me miss everyone even more.  Women who were pregnant when I was there have all had their babies and were bringing them to the vaccine clinic for vaccinations.  I'm not sure what vaccines the babies were getting since they didn't come from us, but all the bandages, glucose monitors, and blood pressure devices did.

I plan is to be back in Ghana to work by next summer even if it's only one week.  It will have to be shorter than usual based on preparing to go off to college, but I can't wait to be back there.
