Courtney in Gushei, Ghana. A four month volunteer placement through Engineers Without Borders Canada, McGill University chapter. Thursday, July 17, 2008. I have been living in Diare for about 3 weeks now and I am definitely happy with my decision to move out of Gushei and live with a family. Recently, I found a group of people to play soccer with.

http://g-in-ghana.blogspot.com/2008/07/july-17th-blog-post.html
Monday, July 21, 2008. July 17th Blog Post. Well looking at the calendar today I realized to my surprise that I have only 31 days left here in Salaga. Almost exactly one month - though I think I will be much closer to that by the time I am able to post this! Next week I am heading out to the Makango area, part of our District, to spend some time in a village. I am planning on spending five days with a local family to experience the realities of rural life in Ghana - yes, mud hut and all! I am all ears!
