The time is almost here that I will finally embark on this awesome journey! I board my plane to JFK at 8:05 am, and still haven't made it to bed haha! Then at JFK I have a 3 hour lay over, which will be fine... I will be able to get to know some of the other volunteers. My plane then takes off at 3:30 (2:30) our time, which will take about 11.5 hours. I will then arrive in Ghana at 7:40 am (on Saturday) , which is 2:40 am Texas time! I definitely will be sleeping a lot on Saturday, but then orientation and a tour of the town, HoHoe, on Sunday. Then Monday I finally start teaching the children, which I am super excited!!
Usually my days are going to consist of volunteering in the mornings, then they immerse you in the culture in the afternoons. They might take us on excursions, go see dances, and teach us the language Ewe... even though most do speak English! I probably won't be able to make contact or anything till maybe Monday.
I am going to miss my family, alllll my friends, and Alpha Gams!!! I love you all! :)
I miss you already! Love, love, love you.
