Hello everyone! I am in Ghana! The time has finally arrived. I just came back from a site visit in a village in the Upper Volta region of Ghana. It was an exciting and challenging experience. No electricity, running water, and very little cell phone service. I must say, I was very overwhelmed when I first arrived, but by the end I think I overcame alot of my initial apprehensions. There have been some serious highs and lows so far, but an over-arching excitement in the fact that I've made the right decision in coming here. I'm very happy to be working with the Peace Corps. I love their mission and approach to development and cross-cultural exchange. I can tell this is going to be an amazing, yet trying experience. So much has happened since I arrived in Ghana, and unfortunately I don't have the time to explain it all. Nor do I think I could ever have enough time. I've realized since being here that it's going to be very difficult to explain my life here to those back in the states-- a challenge I didn't necessarily foresee. However, I think that's just all part of the experience, and I look forward to blogging and hearing from you all. Hopefully, I can write a more descriptive blog soon, but for now, I'm heading back to training. I just wanted to announce I've arrived, and I've hit the ground running!
All the best, All my love
Cynthia
