On February 17th, I will be leaving for Ghana, Africa. I'm going on a volunteer trip for 4 weeks with an organization called Projects Abroad. I'll be living in a village called Akuapem Hills which is about 2 hours north of the capital, Accra. In The Hills, I'll be living with the Asare family, consisting of the mother (the head of the house), Dina, her aunt, her mother, and her 5 children. There will also be 3 other volunteers staying in the same home as me; one from Norway, one from Belgium, and one from the UK.
During my time spent in Ghana, I'll be volunteering at the Adom Day Care Center.
I don't know much else about my project there, but I'm really looking forward to finding out when I get there.
After my 4 weeks in Ghana, I'm flying straight to Paris where I'll be staying for another 6 weeks at the apartment I rented in the 9th arrondissement. After Paris, I'll have another 6 weeks to travel anywhere my heart desires. I'm not sure where I'll be going yet, but I know I'll be making it to the Greek islands, Italy, Amsterdam, and hopefully Switzerland.
These next 5 months will no doubt be the best 5 months of my life, and I can't wait to see what's ahead of me. I'll post as much as I can while I'm in Ghana, but I'm going to have very limited internet access. Stay posted for more updates!
Until next time,
Sophie
