On February 7th, 2013 eight high school girls and three teachers went to Ghana. Their purpose of going was, to raise money to give one female student in Ghana a scholarship. The girls brought suitcases full of goodies, including two hundred and fifty four books and tee-shirts.
It took them almost twenty four hours to get to Ghana. The first place they went to Bolgatanga; it’s one of the most rural places in Ghana. They were able to spend a lot of time with the girls in Ghana. They also got to learn some of the girls’ language and culture.
The mcgehee girls were able to raise enough money for eleven girls to get scholarships. This was also only a school trip. That meant that no one else except for mcgehee girls could go. The trip was only open to upper school girls.
Claiborne Beary’s favorite part about going was that she could do activities with the girls who live in Ghana. She also said that Ghana was located in western Africa. She had a very good time, so did all the other girls who went there.
