Working in Ghana, in development, is truly an international
experience.
A one day strategy discussion, involving 14 people, with VSO Ghana programme staff and volunteers
working in collaboration across several disciplines found me sharing ideas and debating with men
and women from Ghana, the UK, Canada, the Philippines, Uganda, Kenya and
Romania.
Later, stopping at the Tasty Food café for a snack, I fell into conversation
with a volunteer from Estonia, working with a small charity sponsoring
individual children into education.
The multilingual abilities of colleagues from other
countries continue to shame me, as I struggle to grasp the basics of Kusaal,
the African language spoken locally in Zebilla.
A treat to send home: while on a walk one evening, when rain was threatening,
a beautiful rainbow peeped within a funnel shaped cloud.
