Hayley is to spend a week in Ghana in September 2008. I don't have the exact dates but, according to her schedule, my guess is that it will be towards the end of the month. She will be visiting the same area as before to see how the situation is progressing. Further news will be posted when we have it. Details of her first visit (in April 2005) are HERE. Thanks to Steve Abbott for the latest information. Roger |

Hi Roger,  Thanks for that great news, I am sure there is still lots to do out there for Hayley and she will want to keep an eye on the progress they have made since her lat visit. Last time she went with Sophie, i wonder if that will be the case this time. Best Wishes Steve H  |

That's great news about Hayley returning to Ghana to see how things are going. I'm sure her visit will be much appreciated and she will be welcomed back with open arms. That's a very good question posed about Sophie going or not...only time will tell I suppose! <3 Caitlin |

Is Hayley going to Ghana before or after she goes to Afghanistan? She will be very busy overseas this fall it seems.

Hello Everyone
I am also delighted to hear that Hayley's return visit to Ghana is to go ahead in September. I know that this is something Hayley has wanted to do for some time, and she will no doubt be looking forward to seeing first hand how her two projects are doing.
Just wish I was going with her!
Best wishes
Grant

Hi Roger and Everyone I'm not too surprised to hear that Hayley's trip has been called off. Afghanistan has been in the news a lot recently with increased Taliban activity and frequent fatal attacks on the armed forces. I feel sorry for Hayley because I know she will be disappointed as, I'm sure, will be the troops, but maybe when/if it quietens down it will be back on the agenda. It may then be sensible not to publicise it until after the event. Best wishes Grant |

Hello Roger, Grant and everybody. To avoid going off-topic, I've mentioned this in the Afghanistan thread HERE. Richard |

Hello Roger, That is excellent news -- I'm glad to hear Hayley could clear her schedule to go back to Ghana. It sounds like the first trip was a real eye-opening experience and I'm sure she will come back changed after this one as well. Stephany |

This morning, I received the following email from David Youngmeyer, the Communications Manager with UNICEF NZ:
I will update this thread with any photographs and further information as I receive them.

Hi Roger, Mark and everyone I'm very pleased to hear that Hayley is making this trip as she's said in conversation with several of us that she's looking forward to returning to see how the projects are working out. Very good of David Youngmeyer to keep us in the loop so to speak but if he's familiar with HWI then he will know that we support Hayley and her work with UNICEF to the hilt!  As I said in a previous post, I just wish I was going with her! Best wishes Grant |

Gerald told me about two weeks ago that he will be accompanying Hayley to Ghana. As far as I know, this will be his first visit there as it was Jill and Sophie last time.
