Farewell Night 2

Coffee in town with Suee, she treated me to a frappachino and a bath bomb from lush which I'll use to take a long overdue bath when I get back. Home tonight to have dinner with parents.

Walk 3 - West Kirby to New Brighton

Image
Today was walk 3 of my 4 walks 4 rights over 4 days. I got the bus to town and then the train to West Kirby to start my walk around the coast to New Brighton. The weather was in my favour and I had my wooly hat to stop my hair blowing about and trying to suffocate me. I found it mentally and physically exhausting which I wasn't expecting. I didn't realise how hard this would be on my body and pushing myself to keep going all the way instead of lying down face first on the floor is a proud moment of mine. I am at 44% of my target after today and hoping to hit 50% on my 4th and last walk tomorrow. Hope you enjoy the pictures.   West Kirby Marina     Thumbs up!     The corner     Horse galloping on the beach     Pirate ship!     A bay     Getting closer!     The mouth of the Mersey     New Brighton Marina   ...

Accra and the End .. for now

Sorry readers for the delay in this post. I started my journey down to Accra on Monday 25/06 at 3pm. It was painful to say goodbye to Hajia, IS staff and my ICVs all at once but it was a beautiful sadness and thankfully what's app is a thing in Ghana. If you believe in bad omens, then the coach being over an hour later would start your senses tingling. However, the coach was nice and fancy; big comfy seats, individual power sockets and air conditioning so it looked like it was going to be a hassle-free journey. We set off and got 45 minutes outside Tamale then the coach suddenly stopped and remained stopped for no obvious reason for 2 and a half hours until an older, more cramped with no sockets replacement coach turned up. 18 hours from start to arriving at the hostel but we eventually did arrive and volunteers spent a few hours relaxing until they started their plane journey the same afternoon.  The following day, Tom and I met Nanna (my co-team leader) in Accra as she had ...

The 10 Week Timetable

Image
One of the things team leaders do at the beginning of cohorts is complete a team planning tool to outline the targets over the 10 weeks. The volunteers then use this to create a 10-week timetable allowing them to effectively manage their time while they are here. We are the 4 th  cohort (3 previous and a pilot cohort) to work with PAGSUNG and are going to be the last. The pilot cohort is the most difficult because you don’t have any contacts or previous data to work from which is what the REACT group are now (they are doing a great job though). Our project is split into the following areas: Needs assessments – volunteers design and deliver needs assessments with local schools, within our PAGSUNG centre and out in the communities to ensure the sessions they deliver are relevant to the people we work with. Any areas that are too ambitious for us, we compile in a report to be sent to local NGOs or International Service themselves. Raising Awareness sessions – we plan and deliv...
