Hello! I am alive and well. The people of Ghana are very friendly, and being the only white skinned folk here, we're a bit like celebrities. Whether you are riding in a van or walking, most people you pass will smile and wave at you, and if you are walking they will all want to talk to you. The children are very cute; when they see you, they shout out "yevu!", meaning white person. Being a person that overly researches her trips, I knew that a humorous and acceptable response would be "amebo", meaning black person. Indeed, they find it quite hilarious and endearing when I say that back to them.
Unfortunately this first post is going to be disappointing to you with regards to my trip and placement details so far. I have A LOT to tell, but I have much planning to do for my kids' lessons tomorrow. The internet here is awful at best, so posting is a bit more of a task than I'd anticipated. I am visiting cape coast this weekend, but hope to have a substantial post up next week. Stay tuned!
