We will be going through an Orientation tomorrow morning after breakfast that will include an introduction to Ghanaian culture, safety and security protocols, highlights of our service learning activities and adventure excursions, and a few other minor details (like staying hydrated in sunny Ghana!).
The GLA staff team here in Anloga has been working hard preparing for the students’ arrival and trying to fine tune our schedule for the next few weeks, and we are all very excited to have everyone here with us now.
After dinner, our GLA students participated in an initial name game ice-breaker and had some time to get to know each other for a bit before heading to their rooms for some much needed rest. Greetings from Anloga, Ghana! After making their way around the world, through airports, layovers, and many long flights, all 34 of our students for Session 1 ( June 24-July 14) have arrived safely! It has been a long day of traveling, first by plane and then by van/minibus for the three hours from Accra to our Home Base in Anloga, but after taking some time to settle in to the Pin Drop Hotel (our GLA Home Base and our home away from home for the next three weeks) students were greeted by a stunning rainbow and given an opportunity to meet and play a few games with some of the kids that live around our neighborhood.
