a summary of last week

Wow sorry i have not blogged in a while. Were to start, i finished working with the children in Creche 3 last Friday due to school holidays, sadly i wont see them again because they don't return for 6 weeks. They are all going on to Nursery. Oh my gosh at School the other day they were singing this song with the kids; when i grow up, im going to be a soldier, im walking in my kharki jacket and puting my rifle in my pocket and they do hand signal for the rifle. Im singing along thinking wow training into little soldiers. Another song which alerted me Stranger Danger. Mr Lorry Driver take me for a ride, climb two steps jump in, Mr Lorry driver take the little boy for a ride.  I got the cutest video of them singing and saying bible verses in their parade. It was  great to work with them all. I'm still working at Blessed little Angels all the children are there due to school holidays. I am trying to organise a day trip to the beach with another girl who is a director and owner of the children's home Meet Kate this week sometime. The owner of Blessed was there last week but i was to sick to go in. We have started painting the showers underwater theme. There is a new little girl who is about the age of three who is the sister of Margaret who was already there. Plus two other boys who came from another Orphanage. Sadly my friend Louise has flown back to England :-( for her last day she painted the kids faces she is an artist Eddie had batman, prince Spiderman, my little man Francis had an army face. Gifty under the sea theme. I will try to upload them they are marvelous photos. I had to go to Kasova to get money out today about an hour away, i caught bus which is more safer felt a bit nervous about asking for directions cause then they would know i was going to back but everyone was friendly. One guy grabbed my arm but i was abrupt with him and he let it go. That's the thing with the men over here you get like hundreds of wedding proposals just walking past but i just smile and walk away. If you get stern with them they don't get aggressive, crazy they just don't understand personal space but i just don't take it seriously. The tro-tro i caught back was great and i had a very honest taxi man. I have been very luck to only come across honest taxi man. Back to the tro-tro its so funny cause the driver is called driver obviously but the guy who is his sidekick who collects the money and opens and closes the door is called mate. I really like that even though i didn't know that i would say mate. Then when police pull them over mate always gives a bribe even when you see them they don't mind. Another funny things that the guys do here it tricked me once, they speak the women in high pithced tones trying to imitate our voices, i actually thought this one guy really had a high pitched voice until he spoke normaly, its quite funny. I had to take little Francis to get his really severe wounds patched up. Every day us girls have to do first aid on the children they really hurt themselves probably cause there is not any grass at School. Its sad the new madam Agnus working said Francis wouldn't hurt himself if he wasnt bad i just ignored that statement. All of us have noticed she does not care for the children she sleeps all day and tells us to lock the boys in the room if they misbehave. The Ghanians here are so proud of there clothes because it was Sunday today every single person was in the sunday best, the kids looked gorgeous in their matching traditional dresses. They have so much Faith pretty much 99% of the popullation. Im slowly adapting the spicy food. I sort of fail Mumma Joyce she says you make me very proud and so happy if you eat all your food. I try but its so much not used to it, but i dont get fufu yay. Fufu doesnt have a taste its just the texture that make you gag, you are meant to just swollew it not chew it. None of us volunteers can eat it. The animals are in harmony seriously cats, chickens, ducks, dogs goats never even think of hunting each other. I think that is really cool, oh saw my first Volture the other day those birds are horrible. Oh yeah i used a toilet that was literaly like walking into a shower and you just go on the floor, I went after Louise so you can imagine and trying to wee on concrete floor not really possible. The amount of things that they can carry on their heads is unbelievable. I need to make a book of all the funny business names they are all every single one of them about jesus god or bible versus they are just peaceful people. There is this show on television at the moment called Pulpit, children no older than 15 preaching to a church and then they get judged, these kids are amazing!!! Im going to go and work at another project next week Meet Kate working in nursey and kindergarton, its a great centre Kelly has set up. The centre houses 60 children, forty who attend day school and 20 who reside there. This little amazing girl i met who was 3 who wasn't even the size of a one year old. Kelly said she was that badly malnurished she couldn't walk but she is slowly walking now. She said that when her fatcher came to the centre the little girl remebered him and walked straight to him she said the father started crying and was so overjoyed.
