HIV/AIDS work in Accra, Ghana, 2006.
Ghana has been treating me very well so far. My host family is
wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better living situation.
They really care about my happiness, the house is clean and safe
and I am fed well!
The volunteer work has been good as well, if at times slow. I have
been at the HIV/AIDS facility for the last week and a half and will
start in a fosterhome/school just outside of Accra next week. It's
about an hour from my house by trotro.
I am planning a trip to Cape Coast with some other volunteers
I've met in Accra. I was surprised to see so many obrunis! It's
been nice to make some friends in the same situation I am in.
Accra is like another world; so far this has definitely been an
unforgettable experience. I am glad my first trip to Africa was
to Ghana. I feel very safe here. Everyone is incredibly friendly
and welcoming. Besides the heat, I have no complaints!
I am loving my trip and am very thankful to you and your organization
for setting this all up. You're doing a great thing! Talking with
some other volunteers makes me especially grateful - some have had
not so great experiences with their organizations. I am very lucky
:)
