Voluntary work in Ghana 2011

Saturday 9th July ,

Woke up to the realisation i was in Africa ,lots of people outside house making a noise setting up their shops .
Had my first bucket shower in Ghana,WHICH MEANT YOU HAD TO FILL A BUCKET WITH RAIN WATER FROM A WATER TANK OUTSIDE ,CARRY IT IN AND BASICALLY WASH YOURSELF WITH IT ,IF YOU WANTED HOT WATER YOU HAD TO BOIL IT ON TOP OF THE OVEN ,then i was greeted by a cooked breakfast by the housekeeper Rose ,omelette and fried bread and a cup of tea. We were then taken for a drive around the area to get us used to where we could buy food and purchase Ghana MTN simm cards for our phones .




People are very friendly and looking at us because we are white and calling us Obruni ,which means tourist or white person .Music blares everywhere from shops and cars and locals dance and smile all day long!

LAKE VOLTA ...........................

We travelled to Lake Volta in the afternoon where very poor people live and then took a boat out into the largest man made lake .......................

where i jumped over board for a swim to cool off but found it difficult to get back into the boat !!!!!! HELP!!!
