HELLO WORLD!
We have all arrived safe and sound in Ghana, despite some Tornado warnings and electrical storms in Toronto, some misplaced luggage and some wonderful roads, we are all having an excellent time getting settled in.
We all stayed a couple nights in Accra, the capital of Ghana, where Robin, Heather and Davina will be staying. We did a tour of the city, learned the ropes about cell phones, money, internet and tro-tros (the method of transportation) and made some fantastic Ghanain friends. Today we took a bus to Takoradi to drop of Caroline and Sara with their host family. It was supposed to be a 4 hour journey...ended up being a bit over 8 as we waited for some bus delays and crazy traffic!
We will be heading back to Accra tomorrow for Robin and Heather to meet their host family and for Davina to settle into her house. Everyone will be starting their internships on Monday morning; Caroline and Sara at "Friends of the Nation" and Robin and Heather at "Kumasi Institute for Technology, Energy and the Environment." We are all very anxious to get started, and fully emerge ourself in Ghanain culture and see how we can both learn from and contribute to these incredible NGO's.
Keep following us as we dive into our adventures!!
-Ghana Crew
