New trainees and Camp!

So I'm on my way back to site after spending a wee kin Kukuruntumi with the trainers for the new group of trainees coming to Ghana. There is a group of 67 coming the first week of June so I'm excited about being involved in training again! This week was a little crazy with schedule planning but was a nice break from site and planning for the leadership camp we are having next week in Nkwanta. This week I'm going to be in Nkwanta on Monday, following up with some final issues for camp. Logistics seem to be a problem here but a local NGO called WYDP (Women and Development something...) is helping us to get housing (aka mattresses to put on the floor) and food. We are having one day at the World vision Office, one at the NGO, one at the District Hospital, visiting the police station, the bank, the secondary school etc so ill be busy following up wit make sure our reservations haven't gotten lost (which seems to be common here). One Tuesday I have a Moringa project going on at the primary school and on Thursday I am going to one of the outreach villages to do a family planning drama competition with the local football teams. I also need to go and weed my farm. Ive been told that my maize and groundnuts are getting "bushy".

Its hard to believe that I only have about 5 more months here in Ghana. Though at first the two years seemed really long, it has gone by so fast! I'm still considering extending and looking into other options like grad school and teaching positions when I get home.
