After me, the crowing rooster clock since 4:30 can not sleep, I give its alarm sound after an hour after the resignation, slip into my running shoes or alternatively go to fetch water and wash my laundry. Then we have breakfast together. Highlight each morning, the homemade granola with fresh bananas. Sometimes I go
with our NGO morning in small communities, but mostly I prepare the lessons for the kids club, go after the homework and take me much time to myself, because the whole experience will be recorded and processed.
My main project is taking place in the afternoon kids club. So far I know after the introductory phase of Mathematics, always coupled with creative units, games and sports. And so slowly I have the feeling that it is important for the students.
against 16 clock I'm at the home. In the evening we cook together. The Ghanaian cuisine, we are trying here and there with the German, Italian and Asian to join. I learn a lot from our Ghanaian roommates.
keeps me on the weekends, not so much in the small village in Ajumako. On weekends, I have now discovered the Atlantic Coast complete. I was at a beer festival in Lomé (Togo's capital), three days in Accra, in the cities of Cape Coast and Takoradi and on the last weekend in the stilt village Nzulezu and the most southerly point of Ghana, the Cape Three Point.
learns through the trips you know Ghana's environment and nature, much like a tourist on his adventure tour. But to really get to know Ghana and do not just scratch the surface, is no alternative to personal interviews. It is the experience that their own behavior and the German culture to question and explain the Ghanaian way of life. So I am now come to the realization that I do not need on my white skin so much flatter, because Ghanaian teachers will be begged by the students.
The cooperation in the NGO is very sociable. In the evening we sit together sometimes, eat together and talk about God and the world. It is interesting that the talks are the same as we would they do in Germany. And it is precisely on such a night it has with me, "click" done and I felt the first time in Ghana at home. Ghana was suddenly no longer foreign to the many differences were suddenly puny small in contrast to the many similarities.
with a friend, we in village visit, we were picked up on a farm and have coconuts and Casava (tuber crops), have a funeral and visited with the NGO we were at a wedding of an employee.
I'm looking forward to the next 9 months in Ghana, at the same time I am looking forward to my home country Germany. Because of the quote "Home is where family and friends live," is tuned in any case something!
