School is winding down and I will procrastinate from studying for my last three exams by describing my accommodation and placement details for my time in Ghana.
Accommodation:
I will be living and working in Cape Coast (three hours west of Accra, the capital). Cape Coast is on the coast (!) and is smaller than Accra. The town centre is apparently small enough to walk around, with a good market and selection of restaurants and cafes. I will be staying with Philomena Sampson and her family. It should be a full house with her brother, her three kids (ages 14, 7, and 7 months), and her niece (also 7 years old). I hope at least one of the kids is a soccer player!
Placement:
I will be working at the Central Regional Hospital. Apparently, it is one of the most modern hospitals in Ghana and most volunteers work in the pediatrics ward and/or the emergency room. More specifics on this to come later....
I leave for Ghana in exactly two weeks (minus four hours or so). The time has approached quickly and I'm looking forward to finishing my last exam on Monday so that I can shift my focus more to this trip.
14 days and counting.....
