01.13.2019 📍Ashanti Region, Ghana Entry #54 What an amazing team effort! We spent the last week working to turn this boring school wall into something fun and educational. So many people contributed to this mural, and it was so fun to see my community members and fellow volunteers coming together to help. I definitely couldn’t have done it alone, and am so happy how it turned out. Of course, the first thing the kids want to know is where all of their favorite football players are from. • • • • • #howiseePC #PCV #Peacecorpsghana #peacecorps #healthvolunteer #worldmapproject #pcsecondgoal #agreatbigworld #globalthinking #learningisfun #inspiretravel #peacecorpsfriends #community #schoolbeautification #lifeinghana #instaafrica #volunteerabroad #expatlife #wanderlistdiary
01.03.2019 📍Mole National Park, Ghana Entry #53 “See it well. Let it fill your eyes.” - A reminder from our wonderful Mole tour guide to put down the camera and be present in the moment. 🐘 I am so thrilled that I had the chance to start the new year by visiting Mole National Park. There is nothing like seeing animals in their natural habitat, undisturbed by humans. This park is a protected area in northern Ghana, home to elephants, antelope, warthogs, baboons, birds, and more. We also made a stop by Larabanga Mosque, the oldest mosque in Ghana, believed to be built in 1421 and still in use today. • • • • • #howiseePC #PCV #Peacecorpsghana #peacecorps #healthvolunteer #peacecorpsfriends #newyear #welcome2019 #holidaysabroad #molenationalpark #molemotel #elephants #savannah #safarianimals #exploreghana #travelmore #onthemove #lifeinghana #instaafrica #volunteerabroad #expatlife #wanderlistdiary
12.31.2018 📍Upper West Region, Ghana Entry #52 Happy New Year from the Upper West region of Ghana! I’ve spent the last week visiting some fellow volunteers, participating in festivals, eating new foods, and drinking pito (a drink made from fermented millet). Hope everyone’s 2019 is off to a great start! • • • • • #howiseePC #PCV #Peacecorpsghana #peacecorps #healthvolunteer #peacecorpsfriends #celebrate #newyear #newyearcelebrations #welcome2019 #holidaysabroad #festivalseason #bambarabeans #exploreghana #travelmore #onthemove #lifeinghana #instaafrica #volunteerabroad #expatlife #wanderlistdiary
12.25.2018 📍Accra, Ghana Entry #51 Found ourselves a real Christmas tree, ate some incredible sushi, and spent the day with friends. I couldn’t be happier! 🎄 • • • • • #howiseePC #PCV #Peacecorpsghana #peacecorps #healthvolunteer #peacecorpsfriends #celebrate #christmasseason #merrychristmas #holidaysabroad #realchristmastree #smellslikechristmas #ghanachristmas #lifeinghana #instaafrica #volunteerabroad #expatlife #wanderlistdiary
12.23.2018 📍Ashanti Region, Ghana Entry #50 Harmattan is in full swing. This is the time of year when the dry, dusty winds from the Sahara Desert blow down through Ghana. You can normally see for miles in the mountains near my house, but lately it’s like we’re living in a cloud. • • • • • #howiseePC #PCV #Peacecorpsghana #peacecorps #peacecorpsfriends #healthvolunteer #onahike #getoutdoors #experiencenewthings #changingseasons #harmattan #lifeinghana #westafrica #uniqueclimates #dryanddusty #instaafrica #volunteerabroad #expatlife #travelgram #wanderlistdiary
12.21.2018 📍Ashanti Region, Ghana Entry #49 This week might have been the best one yet. We brought in a resource person to lead a training for the community on how to grow oyster mushrooms and learned every step of the production process: Composting, Bagging, Sterilizing, Inoculating, and Maintenance. Why Mushrooms? They are super nutritious and a great source of supplemental income. As the week went on, more and more people came out to participate. Several participants are already talking about how they can do work together to turn this into a serious business. I am thrilled about how committed and excited everyone is about this project. We’ve got about 300 bags incubating now, and I can’t wait to see the results of all the efforts in about a month! • • • • • #howiseePC #PCV #Peacecorpsghana #peacecorps #healthvolunteer #mushroomtraining #incomegenerating #supplementalincome #sustainablenutrition #oystermushrooms #mushroomproduction #communityled #collaboration #startingbusinesses #learningnewskills #locallygrown #instahealth #instaafrica #volunteerabroad #expatlife #wanderlistdiary
