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
