Ghana Team Journal

When I woke up on the second day, I quickly became exited knowing that we would be returning the New Akradi, Senchi Ferri area that day. After a breakfast buffet one hundred times better than the egg sandwiches on the plane, we all retrieved our luggage from our rooms, and pilled into the van, and started on the hour long drive to Senchi. After a cramped hour of driving, we finally pulled into the St. James Guest House, where we excitedly unloaded, and headed to our rooms to unpack. After about thirty minutes of unpacking, we all gathered in the dining room for an introduction/group meeting/language lesson/lunch. After lunch, we headed back to our rooms for a few hours to relax, catch some sleep, or watch some tv. At 3 o’clock, we all gathered in the common area, and guided by Amo, began the long journey to Senchi Ferri, where we met
with the chief. After hearing the sad news about the death of the town elders, we still received a very warm greeting from the locals, and where split into our groups to talk about either construction or teaching. After the meeting, we were then taken on a tour of the amazing Senchi library by Samuel the librarian. After the tour, we began the long hot walk back to the St. James, where we then ate dinner. After dinner, we discussed our free time and weekend activities. We then broke into groups, one watching videos of fishermen in Accra, and the other playing a
frustrating game of banana grams. After that, I was then given a crash course on how to play Yatzi by Ryan. Finally, we all headed back to our rooms, with the excitement of the projects beginning tomorrow.
