There's always an upside

After five eye-opening months in Dormaa-Ahenkro I'll be moving to Accra for the remainder of my stay. Normally through AFS you spend your entire stay with one host family, but in special cases you can be moved. My host family, Richard and Emelia, were really great to me while I was there, took me into their home and taught me interesting things about Ghanaian family life, cooking, and Dormaa. Unfortunately they were undergoing some financial problems and had to say goodbye to me this past weekend. I really appreciate all they've done for me.

I haven't met my new host family yet, I'm doing that today. All I know is that now I'll be living in Accra and eventually be set up with some volunteer work. I'll post a new address soon, and tell everyone about my new family. Thanks to everyone keeping up with my adventures here, now I'll get to show everyone a whole new side of Ghana I might have not seen otherwise. Plus, being in the capital makes internet AND the beach more accessible. Always an upside!
