Placement in Ghana

When I signed up to volunteer in Ghana with Cross Cultural Solutions I was hoping that I would be working with kids. With the program you fill out a survey as to what your interest are when working over there. You get to choose your top three, which all my included in some way working with children. I have been waiting 7 months to find out what I was chosen to do! I gave everything to God and trusted in Him to figure out what would be best for me.

A couple of days ago I FINALLY received my placement for what they have me doing in Ghana. I am going to be working at the Volta School for the Mentally Challenged. I am really excited/ nervous about this. Not quite sure where to start as in preparing for something like this. I have been e-mailing other people who in the past have worked in the same school. I am making a small scrapbook with pictures of where I live, my family, my friends, and anything else. I know I will teaching them some English, but I will also be doing arts and crafts with them as well! I hope it goes well!

I leave in 6 days and am packed and ready to go! Ahh I can't believe the time is finally here! I will keep everyone updated as to what I am doing.
