found some more internet! exciting times! feeling a little competitive with richard now seeing as he has a ridiculous amount of posts and they are very funny and i only have two :( soon he will travel and discover the pain of internet cafes :)
Getting back after such an amazing weekend was a bit depressing and i am still having air conditioning withdrawal symptoms! The day we left the hotel a kitten fell off the roof and one of the volunteers found it and couldn’t find the mother so has decided to raise it herself. It was so young it couldn’t even open its eyes but got news today that its eyes opened today so its all very exciting, this poor cat has about 17 parents now who all want to hold it and feed it. We are slowly getting into a routine at the school, i have asked the head master to take nursery off my timetable as it is impossible to teach kids that don’t speak English, i promise i tried! But i only can say about 3 sentences in fante before i run out of things to say. Starting up the art club has also proved to be a lot more difficult than expected, as the school bus refuses to take home those who stay later and parents will complain so i have asked if i can teach all creative art classes and let the kids use the materials i brought with me in the lessons. We are hoping to start a football team as well and possibly play some teams from other volunteers school but being organised isn’t really a priority in Ghana so im not sure if it will happen but it would be really cool if it did. I have a long weekend this weekend as there are no lessons on Thursday or Friday and possibly even Monday as it is Ghanaian independence day Friday 6th march, i think there is a beach party thing on Friday so that should be good and the navy guys have promised to bring us chocolate from the vending machines on their ships so i have a very important reason to go really :)

Hi Lovely.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the kitten made it after all.
Hope you got the promised chocolate!!
Lots of challenges around the art club, but using the stuff in class sounds like a good plan.
Missing you loads.
had a lovely evening with Pam & Steve last night.
Garden is coming on well, you won't recognise it (that's probably a good thing)
Love you honey, take care of yourself, you are very precious.
love Mum, Dad and Jack (who has decided to do art gcse, with a project on tatooing, good lord that boy is growing up to fast!!!)
Great to hear all is good with you. So many new friends and experiences & sounds like you're handling it brilliantly! Hope the weekend went as well as it sounded! Wish you could send some heat to us, it's bright today but there's a cold wind. Thinking of you lots. Love Pam x PS Carole makes a wicked risotto!
