Aburi was great! Biking to the waterfall, it took us only a little longer than thirty minutes. When we got there we had to hike a mile or two to reach the actual waterfall. While we were hiking to the waterfall, our guide stopped us in our tracks. There was a large green poisonous snake that he threw rocks at until it passed.
During the week, I kept painting the school in Saviefe Deme. One of the days, the painting was minimal and the community was working on layering cement on the old school. This was a great opportunity to learn how to carry bowls of cement on my head. As they mixed the cement together, I would fill up the bowl and place it on the top of my head and proceed to walk to the school where it would be dumped out. I engaged in this process for a couple hours until I moved on to helping the kids carry buckets of water that we fetched from the river, to their houses.
The weeks have gone by way too and my flight home is just hours away. I spent my last night in Ghana out with the volunteers, enjoying card games and engaging with some of the locals. I'm dying to stay longer, just for a few more weeks but I am 100% positive that i will be back one day. Maybe not next year but I will be back. I'll miss what the locals call my 2nd home with my new "family" that i have met.
