Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know what I've been up to for the past week. I have been relocated to a host family in a town called Old Tafo. They have taken me in for the next 9 weeks until we finish training. It has been an interesting experience because they speak no English whatsoever and we can only converse in Twi. I will post more details about them later and post some pictures. I also have some news..... We have all received our site assignments and I will be heading to the Upper West Region to a town called Wechiau where I will be mainly working to build up the Health Clinics. The language of the region is called Dagaare, and I have been learning it for the past week! It has been so difficult because I have been going to language classes for Dagaare in the morning and than I have to head home to a family that only speaks Twi, I don't recommend learning two completely different languages at one time on anybody!
Also, I have posted my address here in Ghana in a earlier post, but I think I may have made a mistake and forgot the Ghana part, so here it is again:
Sinae Hong, PCT
Peace Corps Ghana
P.O. Box 5796
Accra North, Ghana
West Africa
but if the carrier doesn't P.O. boxes the address is:
Sinae Hong, PCT
26 West Cantonments
Switch Back Lane
Accra North, Ghana
West Africa
Oh, I also have a phone here, the number is 011233240685458. You need to dial this exact number (I have added the country code and everything). I will try to make some calls out too, but even receiving a text message from y'all would make me the happiest girl in the world!
Well I hope everyone is doing well, more to come soon!
Love, Sinae
