back in my placement

the last few weeks being back have been really good :) thoroughly enjoying not living out of a smelly rucksack and having a family again! its weird cos i hardly speak to some of them cos of the language barrier but my two host brothers are really fun to be around and i think i actually idol worship mrs dadzie, shes so cute and old :) we had to give her painkillers for her leg the other day and she walked off with the whole bottle, a little worried she cant read english well enough and may over dose :S but so far shes seemed pretty normal haha
last weekend i went to elmina with brittany and katie, which is quite near cape coast to see the other slave fort. the tour was really good but quite sad hearing about what went on their. elmina was beautiful and the beach was pretty nice, but you cant actually walk on it as there is poo everywhere hidden in the sand! (HUMAN POO!!) why??? anyway, so after elmina we headed to brenu beach which was absolutely deserted so we had a great morning catching up on our tans and being pestered by a dog that kept digging holes next to my towel and flinging the sand all over me! a school trip turned up and we got mega perved on so decided to leave shortly after that!
i did a papier mache lesson with the kids on friday which was extremely messy and stressful! but they turned out pretty good :) this weekend has been spent painting the playground, its going really well so far, just hoping the rain stays away so we can do the final touches tomorrow! will show u the photos when im done :) i was going to put up some pics of the art stuff ive done with the kids but i brought the wrong cord for the camera :( im silly.
hopefully this week will be as busy and teachful as the last! :) hello to everyone :) xxxx

  2. Hi my beautiful girl.
    Soooo looking forward to seeing you very soon! Is brittney still coming over? hope so, will be great to meet her!
    Great talking to you the other day, we all sat and said a big cheers to you, when we got off the phone. you seem so much more settled now, I suspect there will be very mixed feelings when you have to leave :0( :0)

    love you and miss you, but know you will have a fab last few weeks.
