The end is coming way too fast. I am freaking out.
The new interns flew in yesterday so we trotro’d to Accra to
meet them at the airport. We met Mary there as well and it was nice to see her
there; she brought us brownies and rice krispie squares!!!
We took them to the Accra Mall to get something to eat quick
before heading out to Asamankese...the beginning of their trip is so different
than ours.
We are happy to see the new interns, but it is weird having
them here. It makes our house not feel like home anymore. We are so busy
showing them around, telling them things they need to know, teaching them how
to get around. It’s tiring. We have to stick it out. I love showing them our
town, but at the same time, I don’t want to give it up.
3 months is too short. I have made all these friends, it
takes 3 months to get over the language barrier and now when I am finally ready
to call this home, it’s time to leave. I almost cried talking to Auntie Joe
about it, Yaa is pretending to cry every time she sees us, and everyone in town
is asking us when we will leave now that they’ve seen the new obruni’s are in
town. It’s sad.
Today we had registration for the new classes and it was so
sad that these new women came won’t be with us. It is sad handing all our work
over to these girls. I know they are here for a purpose and I know that my time
is up, and I AM excited about home but...blaaaaah....
Tomorrow we take them to Cape Coast and see Cape Coast
Castle. Beach it in the afternoon. Thursday morning they will go to Kakum and
then we will all leave to come back to Asamankese. Friday the new interns will
go to Accra with Belinda to learn to use the trotro’s and we get a day to
ourselves to pack and say goodbye to everyone, and Saturday we leave. HOLY
CRAP. Not ready for this.
4 Sleeps. See you soon, Canada!
