It wasn’t as bad as I thought!

Yesterday was my third day in Ghana and it hit me hard!!! Apart from missing my family, the food and weather change


I finally met my supervisor and went to see my placement in the women’s refugee camp.My first thoughts on the camp were “This isn’t safe and why is everyone looking at me”. Well I gathered everyone was looking at me because I was the only white person (spot the white kid) lol, but I’m slowly getting used to it. After a ten minute walk to my placement I was tired and wanted to go home. I felt lost and lonely ! I had to jump over holes in the floor, climb through tiny paths and dodge all the chickens and
lizards. Every little thing I saw or heard just reminded me of people back home
and that night I
wanted to call my mum and ask her to book me a flight home. But after hearing about everybody
else’s placements we decided to have a group meeting. I was pissed off because we had to travel to our placements on our own after three day but we
come up with a solution which was to have someone pick us up when we get off the bus. However
I still went to bed angry and upset.

PS Mum I love you and I’ll call you if it’s too much to handle. and I wanted to cut down smoking on this trip but It’s made me smoke more L love you x x x x xx Today was my first official day at work and boy was Idreading it!! I went to breakfast and
couldn’t eat anything as my belly was turning with nerves. We got in a cab and arrived in
the camp. As we walked to my placement I started feeling better and not so uncomfortable. I didn’t do any baking as it was my first day and because I had nail varnish on L but I
watched the others and took notes. They made sin omen rolls which smelt and tasted great!!
I brought four and took them back to the hotel to share them out. Any way I’m planning to have a nap before dinner so wish me good luck at work tomorrow and
ill hopefully write tomorrow.


PS Mum I love you, don’t worry about me I’m in good hands and I’ll see you soon x x x x x x x x x x x xx x x x x x x x x x x x
