SELF RELIANCE CENTER

The evening of the Ghana vs U.S. Soccer game we stayed at the "temple Complex" to enjoy the game with some of the staff members.  There is little opportunity to eat when we go there and it was dinner time (no lunch). Shelly Cannon invited us to their missionary apartment and fed us.  It tasted SOOOOO good.  We ate a vegetable soup and I've made my own version every week.  (with what is available to me on the street) It's a staple!


We've never been more appreciative of a meal in our lives I believe

Russell and Shelly Cannon, directors of that Self Reliance Center saved us from starvation

The Self Reliance Center is an amazing operation of classes, monitoring and required "follow Through"  They promise that if an individual will follow ALL the steps they outline, they will find employment in 30 days!  That's quite a promise in Ghana.  It is still hard for them to accomplish.
