We have arrived in Ghana! The weather was a bit of a shock for everyone as the UK volunteers stepped off the plane, like hitting a wall of heat, it’s going to take some getting used to.
It’s been so lovely to finally meet the rest of the team, we’re now complete and have already bonded with our new brothers and sisters!
I have only known the team for a couple of days but already I feel very lucky to be working alongside such an inspiring young group of people who I am sure will do Abrobiano and themselves very proud. Spending time with everyone and continuing our training in Accra has made me optimistic about our stay here in Ghana and excited to learn more about the culture and to meet our host families 
We have spent the past few days doing some further training in Accra, Ghana’s capital city. A lot of what we have been doing has been centred around cultural differences, it’s been really interesting and beneficial for the team to hear what we have to say about each others own cultures and customs. Everyone has been so accepting, willing to learn and open about what we all believe. It has made me feel like I can approach and discuss anything with my fellow volunteers. We’ve spent loads of time with each other in the evenings, tried the new cuisine and even gone for a swim!
I know that the next 10 weeks of the programme is going to be challenging but I know from the past couple of days that we’ll support each other and we’re going to learn so much along the way. Bring it on!
