First few days in Ghana

I arrived in Accra, Ghana Sunday night and took a tro tro to Hohoe, Ghana Monday morning. It was a very bumpy ride and went by very fast because there is not much of a speed limit here. I am so far enjoying my stay. The other volunteers are very nice and everyone here is so welcoming and friendly. I am still trying to get used to the heat though, but I'm sure I'll be come used to that soon as it seems everybody does. The orphanage I am working at is full of excited children who love to learn and like hanging out with volunteers. I just want to bring all of them home and show them the states! It is so interesting learning about the Ghanaian culture and even about the UK from the British volunteers. I have learned so much in my few days here. For some reason my mosquito net will not stay up but mosquitos have not been a huge problem yet and hopefully they won't. We come to the internet about twice a week for a short while so I will try to blog whenever I can. I hope to learn even more in the next few days. This weekend we are going to Cape Coast so I will be sure to blog all about that next week. Until then..
