Building Playground in Ada, Ghana!!

Just recieved this letter this morning from Ben Markham, president of Empower Playground in Provo, Ut.  He is currently in Accra, Ghana.  As a reminder - the golf tournament we did in August at the Eagle Lake in Roy.  We were able to raise the money to build a playground that generates electricity. 

Here is the letter:

Dear Susan,
Just wanted to let you know that the MGR (playground) and glider swing are operating
on Pediatorkope Island, thanks to your hard work. Alan Riser has been
there for two days with a crew of 3 from our shop here and many, many
volunteer labors including the chief. Getting one ton of equipment to
the island on big canoes was not easy--but Alan likes tough problems. I
am in Accra doing admin stuff, but I visited all 5 island schools last
week. They are perfect for the EPI system.

The chief has hung out with Alan for two days--leaving only briefly to
bless the bodies at 3 funerals this morning. The chief took the first
ride on the swing and loved it--he is very interested in the technology.

We will get pictures to you soon, but please plan a long visit to the
school when you (some of you) are here.

Regards,
Ben
