The Ghanaian experience thus far..


The Ghanaian experience thus far..
Today is day four of the Ghanaian experience I chose to embark on for three weeks and today by far has been the best day. My working days here consist of waking up at 7am getting ready and commuting to work. Commuting to work every morning and afternoon is an adventure in itself. It involves me walking through a quasi-forest, saying hello to the local kids who are fascinated by my appearance and walking down a hill, where it is certain that I will be hooted at by locals before reaching a bus stop where I get on a ‘tro-tro’ which takes to a town called ‘Amasama’ where I conduct microfinance work with local women. The ‘tro-tro’ is quite an exciting mode of transport because sometimes you are 20 people squashed together (excluding kids!) and you’re moving at high speed on rough roads. I have also had the privilege of travelling on one of them which had no door; the experience is comparable to that of going on Tidal wave! Okay my log in time has ended see you next week!!
