The time
is nearing the end of my stay in Koforidua. Just a few days short of my 12th
week since I arrived in Ghana, I am struggling to grasp where these weeks have
gone. Don’t get me wrong, while for the most part it seems like I have only
been here for a few weeks, there have certainly been moments which made me feel
like I’ve been here several lifetimes. The desire to stay is growing more and
more every day, as I begin to say my good-byes to the friends I have made
during my stay in this stunning country. And again, don’t mistake me when I say
I am reluctant to return to Canada. I miss home (or whatever that now is), and
the many friends and family I left behind three months ago. But, this may very
well be my final post until I return to the East Coast.
So,
what’s the final week been like? Well, thankfully fairly quiet. Yesterday we
had our final activity, which means that the remainder of our time here will
consist of finishing up activity reports, attending a series of debriefings,
packing up our things, and enduring the difficult task of saying good-bye.
It is
with anticipation of seeing all of you wonderful people that I miss so much
back home, and a heavy heart at the thought of leaving the life I have become
accustomed to here in Ghana, that I shall say so long for now… unless of course
something truly awesome happens in the next few days. Otherwise, until I have
safely returned to the other side of the Atlantic…
