this week has gone really well teaching wise :) taught quite a few lessons this week and i think the children understood me as well! a bit! friday night, all the volunteers met at funko beach in the evening, the night was going pretty well and it was nice to catch up with everyone. One of the girls ran into the sea in her underwear and other began to follow, i wanted to go but i didnt really want to swim in the dark so i was a bit hesitant, so one of the boys who was extremely drunk picked me up and pretended he was going to drop me in the water as a joke, i was kicking and screaming and then he fell over :( sad times! so i had a very soggy uncomfortable taxi journey back to my placement! Saturday, Briittany, Mingwei, Stephen and I decided to go to the cocoa factory in sekondi, but when we got there it was closed. The smell coming out of the factory was amazing which made it even more painful that we couldnt get inside! so brittany and i decided to go to mingwei's placement to help her set up for her birthday party. It was a really cute party, and it was kind of sad as well because mingwei had to leave on sunday unexpectedly because her uni course starts earlier than expected so she had to fly back to china :( which sucks because she was really nice.
On sunday me and brittany did some more washing, which is always fun! especially when we have to wash our underwear and it always seems like as soon as we do that about every person we know turns up to say hello! Kennedy brought china (his 3 month old puppy) around to meet us as well which made me very happy :) its nice to see that some people look after animals here, a few volunteers want to go to the zoo in Acrra but i think it may be a little less animal kind than the zoos in england!
this week im starting lots of easter thing in creative art lessons, today class 4 drew eggs and decorated them and me and britany are hoping to do an easter egg hunt as well next week :)

Great to hear you are getting some teaching done - obviously a bonus if the kids actually understand you!!
