Both of us were ready well ahead of the time for our pick-up by the chair of Volphig Board of Trustees. It was a good start to learning to wait and be patient. We thought we would be in Ho at 4.00 p.m. instead we got there at 8.00!
Our first view of our house was in the dark - we unloaded all the luggage and went over to Devi's - another VSO volunteer from India. She had cooked for us which was great.
We were finally in Ho in our house and there was running water - could not ask for more.
Next morning we went looking for tea/coffee and breakfast as there was nothing in the house and no gas. We found Nancy - has a stall selling plastic items and in the mornings she also caters breakfast.
Staff and Board members from VOLPHIG ( www.civilsocietyghana.org/volphig ) visited us at home which was great. Both of us have been made very welcome by Kiran's employers (VOLPHIG). For Michael it will be a completely fresh start and find his networks and get his employers to work with him.
More shopping in the market and we were ready to cook our first meal. We made friends with a few local shopkeepers and market stall holders.
We were settling in and enjoying it too.
