i finally got sick :(

last week was pretty eventful! wednesday we took our kids to play against nazareth school in a football match, the kids played really well and drew 1-1 but i ended up in a huge row with one of the teachers at the end of the game because he told all the kids that they were crap and didnt even try which was a complete lie. so i interrupted him and told all the kids that the other boys trained everyday and we only are allowed to train once a week and we still didnt let them beat us so i was really proud of them, so the teacher then told everyone they wernt allowed food or water as punishment and i completely flipped out and started yelling at him and pretty much told the kids to ignore him because he was being ridiculous, he hasnt spoken to me since :) not really othered i care more about the children here than i do about evil teachers. Friday we went to senya beraku to see stephen and jacks placement which was beautiful, cos they get to live on the beach! we had to share 2 beds with 11 people which wasnt fun and i was exhausted by saturday morning :( saturday we all went to accra and stayed at the salvation army hostle. it was a pretty messy night as we got into a karaoke bar that was all free drinks once u paid the entry fee so i decided to get my moneys worth and sang i will survive to the whole bar :S how embarassing! so sunday morning we were all even more tired! monday at school was a bi odd because my lessons werent happening because of a school quiz so i didnt really know what to do with myself. tuesday was my worst day so far, i finally was sick! i only have 4 weeks left and i had avoided it for so long!! but i think a 24 hr bug is better than what some of the other volunteers have suffered, like malaria, dissentry and i think one girl had cholera :S so ive gotten away pretty lucky! still feeling a bit weird today but two of the kids brought me get well sooncards which cheered me up, its nice to know they like me :) hopefully will feel better by tomorrow!

  2. Sounds like the week caught up with you! Nothing like a mixture of an argument, not enough sleep, alcohol & karaoke to tip you over the edge! Can just imagine you sticking up for the kids though - Go girl! or something :\.
    The english summer's waiting for you (sun/rain/sun/rain)! Looking forward to maybe seeing you soon

    Love Pam xxx

  4. Hi Rose

    You even make me laugh when you are unwell. Sorry to hear about your spat with the 'orrible teacher! How assertive you are and you should be proud of yourself. Not long to go until you are home. Looking forward to seeing the tan mixed up with the bites - Lots of love
