!!!!! my ghana

For the 6 weeks I was in Ghana I had the best time of my life. I honestly feel like Ghana is my second home, I did more in those 6 weeks than I have to show for my entire life, being my first time travelling for a long period alone, Ghana will always be really close to my heart and i'm so certain that i will be coming back every year until I die. I was so lucky to go at a time that I met people who I know I'll be friends with for the rest of my life and even my mum said this would happen and I didn't believe her like I can't wait to go back and see Seth, Flo, Cindy, Christy, Roland, Dennis & Prince, the local team who have been nothing but amazing friends to me, they are so helpful with whatever you want to do they will make you feel at home and will give you the help you need to have confidence to do what you want on your own. Food was delicious by the way, I would only eat fat British food at home and now I'm looking up recipes for Red Red & craving pancakes for breakfast. I have so much to thank you all for and I love you all so much. Placement was unreal, most of the children I wanted to take home with me and felt like they were my actual friends. As I did the teaching placement in the mornings and orphanage in the evening, I felt like I was making a real difference at the school and really helping out at the orphanage. The culture shock is real but if you go into it with a closed mind you will never truly enjoy yourself, just remember it's not just a different country it's a different world and if you treat it like that then you will be a changed person when you get back I promise. If you're worries are safety, forget it because you will be around the team who are like eagles when it comes to spotting anything that could be slightly dangerous & care so much about you that you don't even think about it. I actually can not recommend going enough, I can't put into words how amazing it was, thank you SO much my friends in Ghana and my fellow volunteers, until next time xoxo
