Day 1 and 2 The last two days have been manic! It started with our 6 hour flight from Heathrow to Accra where everyone was very excited. Once we get to Accra, the bustle of the airport exhausted us and the baggage reclaim was nothing like what we had seen before. We all slept soundly...Read More
Days 1 and 2 Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe what it feels like to be here. After a relatively peaceful trip over here, the bombardment of children was overwhelming to say the least. It didn’t really hit us until we arrived that what we’ve been waiting for for two years has finally come. The...Read More
Yesterday we went to church and danced a lot! We also went into the community to see what it was like. For lunch we had corned beef spring rolls and egg rolls. The afternoon was mainly rest and playing some games including cards and limbo. We had an adventure trying to collect water in the...Read More
Day 8 Today we took our buddies to the beach. Here we took selfies with policemen and played some sport. We then had the opportunity to have a meal at the beach hotel, some of us had lobster for 35 cedis (?7!). Unfortunately, we cannot remember what we did in the evening but something funny...Read More

When we first arrived in church, we were greeted at...Read More
Day 1: We left South Craven at 5am in the pouring rain. We arrived in Accra at 8pm (Ghana time). The flight was enjoyable and educational as we learnt that you can’t tan at night time! After what felt like an age, and with the bags finally stacked on the roof of the bus, we...Read More
DAY 3 We awoke at 6am to the unpleasant sound of Mr Lonsdale’s voice shouting through the door to wake us up. After having a nice breakfast we got ready to walk to Elmina Methodist, to meet our buddies. When we arrived at the school, the kids were really excited to see us all, as...Read More
Day 6 We woke to cloud cover and set to the task of building cement blocks for the canteen. Our plans were soon scuppered as it poured down. Some were better than others, not mentioning any names (Ed Tabbari). Due to the rain, we moved indoors to paint where we had our first incident of...Read More
