Hello! A message from Joel and Aron about how we're getting on..
(Dan apologises for the spelling mistakes in the past blog)
Friday morning was a busy morning all our NGO representatives came to meet us at the house all with bright smiles on their faces, wanting to know which one of us would become part of their minions. After some warm hugs handshakes and hugs we were then whisked away to our locvations to learn more about what we were going to be doing over the next eight weeks!!
We all saw each others but we all agree that Joels placemennt was clearluy the best (because Joel was there) followed miles after by Aron's. Placements ranged from woodwork to teaching, office work etc which was all very exciting. And it is fair to say that every1 is excited about what they will be doing. In the afternoon we went for a meal with all of the organisers to taste some real ghanain fare. It was delectable, delicious and generally mouthwatering (thanks for the words Aron).
We then went to the markets and Ghanas largest department store (it had fans in it!) it was like Aldi, house of frasier and dixons all combined into one little warehouse. Okay so maybe it wasn't the largest...
WE were also approached by several street kids and our mentor has taught us to be very wary of these people. The markets are quite fun with streams of sewage and women caryying four times their body weight on their heads (seriously these people should be in gladiator) Please note: no hyperbole will ever be used ever!. Everybody here is really super. fantabulously, jovially, casually, splendidly welcoming and friendly, we are constantly being called sillymingers (white person in Dubani).
We have also been to the local (last night) called Cloud 7 (do they mean cloud 9?) and Dan and Aron drank everyone else under the table and loose a game of articulate in an instance so spectacular it was an amazement to behold. PNINA STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO WRITE!!
I am not changing it to lost
Publishing now, ciao. bye, anula
