julia Hey Carolina, What an experience, sounds like you're having a great time, & will have even more interesting stories to tell on your return! Well done & good luck with everything. MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR! Have a brilliant time, best wishes, love julia (in England) xxx

Aunty Jenny Hi Sal - What an amazing experience you are having. The photos are fantastic. Can't wait to catch up at Chrissy and hear all about it. I am so proud of you. Lots of love A Jenny

Bill and Joy Hello Tom, Sounds like you have all been having a lot of interesting new experiences. Have a great trip back. See you soon. Love Bill, Joy, Nick, Louise, Grandma

Cath Dean Hi all, It is great to see and hear about your experiences. Keep up the great work and see you soon. Cath

Elise Hi Tricia, What an amazing trip. Hard to believe it's nearly over (not quite, but the downhill run is approaching). Looking forward to hearing all the stories on your return. Your 'blog' makes S Block seem quite dull by comparison - however, Nat did submit her PhD yesterday which was great! Take care of yourself and all your amazing students. Elise :-)

Annette Hey Paula, looked at the messages and saw Jayne's so thought I would let you know I passed all my exams got distinctions and credits so pretty good for an old girl. Andrew has got into rep basketball for Bankstown playing under 12's so you will have to come watch next year - haven't told the rest of the family as yet. Hope all is well. Take care. Love Annette and boys.

Angela Parsons Hellooooooo Sally, Carolina & Tom! Been thinkin about you guys and hoping it's going well for you guys! I'm having troubles accessing the pics but from what I've read, it sounds like you guys are having amazing experiences over there - so proud of you guys!!! Can't wait to see some pics and hear more about it when you guys get back! I'm gonna be in Sydney from 25/12 till 5/1 so hopefully, if it's possible in and around all the family stuff you guys will no doubt have on, we can catch up?!?! BIG hug & sloppy smooche! MWA! Ang :x

Kate Hey Sal, Don't know if you got my text msg.. sorry about the lollies & vegemite, hope you're coping ok without it! xx Kate

pauline (Mum) Hi again Donna I forgot to thank you for the lovely bracelet for my birthday. Dad did remember to give it to me and it was a lovely surprise love Mum

Pauline and Steve Hi Dons, glad to see you and the gang are adapting to life in Ghana. The slow pace will certainly be a change from the hectic deadline stuff in the days before you left !! Hope you have got used to the climate, food and lifestyle. Looks like an interesting place to visit, pity about the lack of swimming opportunities. The weather here has been crazy, fierce storms pretty much everyday, plenty of rain but probably none in the catchments. Keep enjoying yourself and we will see you at Christmas. Love Mum & Dad

Steve Cumming Hi GGGG (Glorious Ghana GEM Group)- it all looks to be going fantastically! Just wanted to let you know that there's quite a 'buzz' happening around the Faculty about your trip and this blog site. We're going to put this site straight onto the Faculty homepage and possibly do some media stuff around you all. So keep up the great work (and dancing, and drumming etc!)

Linda Hand Hello to Tricia and the group in Ghana. Delighted to hear about your adventures - what a fantastic opportunity - I am envious. What are the greatest cultural challenges you have faced so far? Can we have some articles/thoughts/comments for the Multicultural Interest group (MIG) Bulletin when you return (or before!) please?!? We here in NZ are interested too. Have a great time. Cheers, Linda.
