“Oh hwhaowhhhw!” - Seamus and I every few seconds this morning ☀️ ⛅️ ⛰ #sponsorme @hollisterco
What an absolute privilege it has been to be welcomed into this wonderful country. A common Ghanaian phrase is “you are welcome.” The people here say it in every context without any cause. The saying represents my experience with Ghana’s culture completely. I have felt so welcomed, embraced, and loved here by strangers and by my amazing coworkers alike. Thank you, all of you! I have learned a ton over the last few months and I am so grateful to have had this opportunity. Most of all I have learned how much I still have to learn. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ghana 🇬🇭🙏🏼 - Also, the women in the villages we visited are some of the most amazing, resilient, and wholehearted people I know. Even without speaking the same language, they drew out my real side and made my face hurt from smiling. As you can see by my “flawless” dance moves I was totally pushed out of my comfort zone. - I’m not ready to disclose all my learnings but will write up a blog in the next few days outlining everything I’ve learned. Look out for it :)
I went outside to sharpen my pencil with a knife and these kids called out to me and asked if we could take a picture. I was confused at first but eventually figured out what they were asking. I hopped the fence and went over to say hello and then had the time of my life just hanging out with them for a bit. The girl on the left was so funny, maybe the funniest person I’ve ever met. She had us all dying. I’ve been feeling pretty lethargic and bored here, not wanting to do much because, well, from an America perspective there’s really not much to do. I think, though, that what people do here is not worse or less interesting, simply unfamiliar. I don’t yet know how to engage and have fun here so my mission for the rest of my time is to figure it out. Also I went on Safari and saw some dopeeee elephants 🐘 I’d never seen them before and they are truly magnificent animals. Very like modern dinosaurs Also, also I have a new blog post if you’re interested! Link in biology class
Things I’ve pondered in Bolga: What would I dare to do if I could not fail? What do I actively want to struggle for? What are my biggest fears and how can I face them? Picture 1: the soccer field behind our house at sunset. Picture 2: Andrea and I with a group of weavers. Picture 3: a wonderful welcome by this dancing woman.
