HELLO GHANA!




It was a really wonderful experience, filled with love, hope and faith. Every single person we encountered was encouraged, welcoming and pleasant to be around. With a great team of 16 people (with a total of 9 different nationalities and a difference of 27 years between the oldest and the youngest), we arrived in Accra, the capital of Ghana, in the Greater Accra region, on the 20th of June. During our whole stay, we resided in a Guest House in Osu, near the central part of the city. It wasn’t the most luxurious accommodation but it had a good bed, good bathroom facilities (although sometimes we had to cope with cold showers) and a wonderful conference room to host our breakfasts, lunches and dinners. It was more than we could hope for during a humanitarian trip! The weather, very hot and humid (the raining season), was around 35°C each day, which was a major change from the 15-20°C I was having in London before I left!
