It's so exciting to think that in 3 weeks time we will be in Ghana- time seems to have flown by, and in 11 days we will be setting of down to Gatwick to take our flight to Accra.
Amongst the GCSE and A Levels exams and university open days, we have all been getting ready to set off- including having yet more injections, and buying all the kit that we will need out there. We have all sent off for visa's to allow us to enter the country (which I'm sure will feature the flattering passport photos we sent off!), and now it's the final wait before our African adventure begins.
I am so excited about meeting the local people that we will come across on our travels, especially the Guides and children at the children's home in Kumasi. More equipment has been gathered and donated, which will be wonderful to take out! I keep trying to imagine what it will be like in a country so different to our own- pretty amazing I'm guessing :)
Our team badges have arrived- they are adorable featuring an elephant, as well as the Ghanaian and British flags. Team kit should be with us soon- it's all so exciting!
It will be fantastic to be underway, and finally have Team Ghana together- and I'm sure we'll get to know each other even better after 2 weeks of each other's company!
Nanteyie! (Akan for goodbye)
