Safeway Recycle Plastic Bags

anticipation of the school starts

there running water? The apartment has a sink? Is the toilet in the house? Questions of this kind are manufactured in Germany with no accommodation. Only after one has known how to appreciate sanitation, you get the idea to ask. But after four weeks I've gotten used to the circumstances so far that the question is a pure luxury of hot water problem.

Our accommodation has remained, and after we cleared our case and we have time swept by, I feel comfortable in Ajumako.
The project will now appear in the description There, I will mainly assist in schools and run a Kids Club in the afternoon allowed. But I must also take the NGOs in the communities and help with workshops there. I'm curious how it will look the reality. Some say that the school on 27 September continues, others talk of a week earlier. When I can then begin exactly do not know yet exactly. Whatever I end the holiday had never been so much longed for!

What I just do? Most of the time it is run and wait. The office is 25 minutes walk from our accommodation and we run the route four times a day this all goes a bit slower than we're used to from Germany. "Just in Time“ ist hier nicht so angesagt und man sollte auch nicht sauer werden, wenn man den gesamten Vormittag und den halben Nachmittag auf jemanden wartet.

Ich habe den Eindruck gewonnen, dass die GhanaerInnen in Ajumako körperlich gesünder sind als die Deutschen. Warum das so ist? Die Antwort liegt im Alltag: Die Wäsche wird mit der Hand gewaschen, man transportiert schwere Gegenstände auf den Köpfen (der Dank ist ein gesunder, gerader Rücken), man läuft sehr viel, ist die meiste Zeit unter Menschen und der Besen hat kein Stil (man muss sich bücken). Nun kann man natürlich sagen, dass es daran liegt, dass sie keine Waschmaschinen haben und weniger Auto fahren oder einfach „noch nicht developed so far are ", or you make are just thoughts, whether the convenience of effort in Germany is really healthy. Now, I am really fun on Sunday to wash with other laundry and collegial with the transport of goods on their heads, I also want to learn.

In our residential community, I have taken the role of the fitness trainer. Regular strength training and jogging on the program and all to do with motivation. Indeed, a good, nutritious food here so we have to somehow keep fit. And as the sea is not far away, it is the beach body all year round to keep.

Invitations Barbie Scrap

preparatory phase in Cape Coast

Since the days are back in Accra last 10 days. We were five days in Ajumako, my home for the next year. Otherwise, everything has changed: Partner organization, project, accommodation. And since we know so far is still not exactly where we are now able to unpack our suitcases and what we can do exactly, I will not speculate about it too. Hope for Future Generations deals with sustainable development and gender equality and health as one of the largest NGOs (non governmental organization) in Ghana are still all hand done other projects. Currently I am

to further Vorbereitung in CapeCoast. Entfernungen drückt man hier nicht in Kilometern, sondern stets in Zeit aus. CapeCoast ist eine Stunde von Ajumako entfernt.
Gemeinsam mit 15 weltwärts-Freiwilligen haben wir eine gemütliche Vorbereitung in Cape Coast mit Dos and Donts, Gesundheit, Fanti-Workshops und vor allem mit dem Besuch des Festivals (eines der größten in Ghana).

Dort waren wir Freitag und Samstag auch. Die Bevölkerung CapeCoast hat sich gefühlt verfünffacht, weil alle Menschen aus dem Umkreis bzw. aus dem ganzen Land hierhern kommen, um die Chiefs und Könige zu sehen. Neben dem Regierungssystem, wie wir es im Westen gewohnt sind, existiert auch ein traditionelles. Hier hat also nicht jedes „Bundesland“ a Prime Minister, but a Chief. This is my explanation, if one may compare at all.

In any case, here in Cape Coast Remmidemmi correctly. All roads are crowded, everywhere there is music and drums, they dance and party and all that from morning until late at night. The festival went on all week and yesterday ended with the parade. The Chiefs, sitting in a kind of bed - have been carried around by four men on their heads. People are really proud of the Chiefs and they have been hailed throughout the whole day. The parade ended at the stadium, where the President Atta Mills was seen.

After two Weeks, I am now a bit more patient and calmer now. waiting time for an hour at the food on an empty stomach or two hours are not occasions to be restless for a taxi. tell

With the hope the next time about my project to be able to
