Hey Everybody,


I have arrived safely back in Canada, and, as such, this will be my last update about my trip. In my last week in Ghana, I was lucky to pack in a lot. On Friday, after a morning drum lesson, Ledzi and I went to Accra for the weekend. Ledzi is studying accounting at a university there on Saturdays, and I needed to do so...

Hey Everybody,



Super sorry that I haven't been able to update in a while. I am now settled in Dagbamete, where I will be staying for another couple of weeks. My last update was from Tamale, the day before we drove south across the entire country. We left at 6 am, and, after a couple of bus breakdowns, arrived at Legon ... 16 hour...

Tuesday morning, we went to Art Center, rather than recovering from the weekend. I called my friend, Kwame, to let him know that we were coming. I met him the previous time I was there, and he was very polite, so I wanted to make sure he was there so that he would get my business. I got some really cool drums that are called akpala. They're  han...

On to Sunday morning…..There was a reception at Aunty's house, but it was pouring rain, and we didn’t feel like being covered in mud, so we didn’t go. We hung out at the house until the rain let up a bit, and then we went for a walk around Anyako. While we were walking around, people were talking to Seshie about me (he didnR...

Wow…..okay, it's July 9th, and I haven’t written anything since the funeral (I’m sorry). So here goes!

Friday afternoon, our things hadn’t arrived yet. The truck was VERY late. Seshie and Jesse had made it okay. We decided to go to the wake with the clothing we had with us, and then change at Aunty Beatrice’s...

I'm finally in Anyako! Yesterday morning, we were all getting ready to leave, and we heard a nasty, nasty sound. Jesse had thrown up all over the living room floor, then ran outside, and threw up some more. We decided that he would stay in Abelemkpe for another night, and if he felt better the next morning, he’d come. So, all four of us gi...

The standard tourist itinerary through Ghana goes something like this: Accra, across to some coastal forts and beaches, up to Kumasi, and home. You will note that Ho is not on this itinerary (really, there's not much reason to visit as tourist) and nor is Keta. West of Accra, the country's beaches are well-developed and touristed. East of Accra,...

No huge stories today, but wanted to share some pictures... I will be traveling from Sept 5-15 with 3 other volunteers along the coast of Ghana. Very much looking forward to it!!

I finally feel as though I have settled in. My family has continued to be extremely welcoming. The young girls keep me entertained! I am starting to get used to the food - it's a huge change of textures, tastes, consistencies, and eating of entire animals... I am now starting on my second week of work. At the hospital, I am working with the phys...
