the preparations for Africa are coming right along, and I am getting more excited as I learn new things. Last month at the SOHI training meeting, I was finally able to meet some of the people I will be going with, learn a bit about what to expect, and discuss the Ghanaian culture.
This is what they eat:
It's called fufu. It consists of mashed up stuff that they mold together in a little ball and eat with their hands. Apparently, it is really good; I'm excited to try it! I'm not too keen on trying the "bush meat" or the fish-head delicacy, but I guess it is all part of the experience, right? (Of course, they told us to bring plenty of peanut butter to act as a source of protein-- just in case).I also realized that I am extremely out of practice in my ASL skills! I need to get back into the swing as SOON as I can.
This weekend, we have another training meeting where we will be talking about teaching strategies and learning more about the schools and students. I can't wait!
