Teaching! and Some Pictures :)

I was supposed to be doing community building in Saviefe Deme this week but since there was a shortage in teachers, I ended up teaching a class this week! I don't have any experience teaching at all but I think I did a pretty good job. I had some help from another volunteer John, which was really nice. I was pretty nervous at first but got the hang of it real quick. I ended up having such a blast and absolutely loving the kids. The language barrier was definitely a major obstacle... but with the help of some advanced students, I was able to teach a few lessons. Now that I know what to expect, I'm planning a few lesson plans for the rest of the week :) I'll let you know how it goes.

I have some time at the internet cafe, so I've decided to upload some photos. There in no particular order. (Anna and I switch cameras so she has half of our photos.. just an fyi)


This is a Baboon with it's baby in Mole :)


ELEPHANTS! So beautiful.

This of one of the clinics. We have med students with us for a couple weeks, you can see some of them talking to the Ghanaians. You can also see Anna in there... she's wearing a torqoiusy dress and touching her hair haha

Waterfall!! So awesome.
More waterfall! That's me in the blue shorts on the rocks facing the camera.

The view of the mountain when we began our hike. I had Anna's camera during the hike and I took A LOT of pictures of the view as we were hiking up the mountain. I will have to snag her camera and upload those cuz they are breathtaking.
Me chillin. We had just arrived at the mountain. The background is where it's at. So awesome.

That's all I have time for! I will try to upload more and possibly with Anna's camera the next time I come to the internet cafe. I don't know what we are doing this weekend yet but I'm sure I will be taking a lot of pictures :)
