Hohoe

The most common transportation here is called tro-tro. It’s a van which can take around 20/25 people. It’s not like there are fixed hours for them to pass by; we just wait for them to pass on the street or we can go to a tro-tro station. In this case the tro-tro will leave as soon as it is full.

It toke me 4 hours in a tro-tro to get to know a bit more about you; this time Hohoe, in The Volta Region.

There are four other girls working also for Care Net Ghana, which is the NGO that I’ll be working for. Two of them are from The Netherlands; one from Norway and one from the US.

Living conditions are better here than back when I was in Madina, which I was not expecting! But I think it is because I’m staying at the NGO Director’s place; otherwise it wouldn´t be like this. I still sleep in a mattress but soon I think I’ll have a bed J The water is still cold but I don´t have to shower with a bucket anymore; which is good but I also liked the other version of shower. It tested my limits a bit more ;) We also have a cook here but I feel it’s a bit luxurious. Of course I appreciate the fact that they come up with it for us but if I want to get to know you then I must live a bit more like you I guess…
