Life is going well here in Ghana. I posted a few pictures so you can see a little of what I see. I am realizing that my first week at the house I was lucky because the water ran all week. Not so lucky this week. I've taken two bucket baths now and it's quite interesting. Also, to flush the toilet you have to carry enough buckets of water to fill the back and then flush it. It's very time consuming.
I went to a UN meeting yesterday to discuss the HIV status in Ghana. All the stakeholders were there and I learned alot.
Tonight I am going with the Salvation Army to talk to Prostitutes on the streets about where they can come and get help with job training and financial assistance. I think that should be an incredible experience. Tomorrow I will be starting anti-stigmatization workshops in the Accra schools. We will go to 10 schools and then there will be an anti stigma poster competition. The winner will receive a scholarship that will be awarded at a kids fair in August I will help plan. I'm excited of all I am learning. I know my way around better now so that is also good.
