I love Ghana because….
It’s beautiful here. Picturesque.
The people. It’s the friendliest nation I‘ve ever encountered.
The kids are so cute! I can’t help but smile when I see them.
I’ve gained an unhealthy pineapple eating addiction.
I feel like a celebrity. Even with crazy hair and no makeup my students adore me.
Life is simple.
On the walk to school about 15 people stop to greet me.
I love the way people dance here.
Marriage proposals occur within the first 30 seconds of a conversation
Seeing everyone carry things on their heads (it’s actually so logical).
Having the opportunity to meet so many great volunteers and getting to experience Ghana with them.
Getting to see Esther’s smiling face everyday…my most mischievous, lovable student ever.
Being able to walk outside everyday and say: “oh my god I’m in Africa”
Getting super excited to hear the fan ice horn (this is how deprived I am of icecream!).
Hearing Alpha say “Helllllllo Alisssssa” every night.
Buying egg sandwiches almost every night on the side of the road from candle lit vendors.
I have gained a fabric buying addiction.
Waking up everyday to the sound of a rooster crowing …
Actually enjoying cold showers.
Realizing that my feet tan is actually just dirt marks.
Learning how to just relax
Waking up to crazy African rainstorms once and a while.
Getting to do laundry by hand (I actually like it).
Traffic here = goats.
Proudly being able to say that I have a growing tolerance for bugs, lizards and spiders.
