The month of June began today with out group’s first free day which everyone made sure to take advantage of. With a late breakfast starting at nine, we were all able to get some extra sleep. That is, with the exception of Maryal who managed to get up at 6 to join the community jogging club for a short run. After breakfast, the group split up so that everyone could do their own thing. One group hiked down the main road of Senchi Ferry, which continued past the last houses and ended at the Volta River. It was a hot walk but the view was worth it. Another group headed down to the river to play volleyball and relax, and others stayed in bed even longer.


After a delicious lunch of peanut soup, the group reconvened to walk to the river for an afternoon of fun. It was beautiful day for hanging out at Sajuna Beach Resort. We relaxed in the splash pool, played ping-pong, and foosball, ate strange looking popsicles, and it wasn’t long before a game of volleyball started up.

One game led to more games, and with some talented volleyball players on both sides it was dusk before we knew it. We made the trek back to St.James and enjoyed a new dish for supper. The rest of the evening was spent relaxing and getting ready for another busy day. Today was a great opportunity for everyone to take a breather and also to bond one last time as a group before we lost two more teammates on Monday. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did!
