Welcome to my site:)
I will be spending my summer in Northern Ghana, Africa with Engineers Without Borders working with the district water and sanitation team in Walewale (in the West Memrusi district). I created this blog so that I could share my experiences with you. I hope I will be able to adequetely describe what it is like to live here and do justice to the Ghanians. I will not have internet in Walewale so I will try to update on weekends when I go into the city.
I have been in Ghana now for 6 days. I am currently in Tamale, where we have been doing some training but I will take the bus early tomorrow morning to Walewale. I'm not sure how to begin to describe it here. I will start with "It's hot!"

Good to hear from you, Holly! Hope everything's going well and that our good friend Lukeman is looking after you.
By the way, did you encounter Mohamed at the tro-tro station when you got to Tamale? We let him into the taxi with us... oops!
Take care of yourself and enjoy being in the village!
lol, no I didn't encounter him but almost everyone else did at the market! There are many stories! They forgot to warn us about him.
Things are going great and the long terms are all awesome:)
glad to see you've made it! I can't even imagine the temperature difference, although i've been working in a bunch of greenhouse for 9 hours a day where the temperature tops 40 degrees... but i would give anything to trade the greenhouse heat for the 'hotness' of Africa.
Ghana, now there is a surprise!
It will be bit warmer in Ghana than it was when you were in Aberdeen working for Talisman where temperatures here can soar(if you are lucky) to a scorching 20 deg C in the summer!!!
Enjoy the experience (and the heat)I am looking forward to regular updates via your blog
Take Care

Hi Holly!
Great to hear that you made it safe and sound. We could certainly use some of that heat here on PEI! Everyone in the office says hello, looking forward to hearing more about your experiences this summer!
