it has been long...

...since my last post.

i am doing well, i am busy, and i am now already really used to being here. if i see women carrying really a lot on their head, if in the morning many schoolkids pass by on their donkey, if the cars are so overloaded that they cant drive straight, if i meet "witches" or "bewitched" people, if everybody is dressed in the most colourful clothes... then i dont realize it anymore, because its so normal already. if it is normal its good, because you dont get so distracted, but also its bad, because you dont take pictures anymore, and you dont write in your blog... so its mainly bad for you, while for me its a good sign to have fully arrived in ghana!

still i want to show you some more fotos, and hope you like them!

girls, after working on their farms

some of "our" children in our garden

zilata and falila with tomatoes from our garden

 one of the many projects we have is a garden, where the kids can learn how to work with plants - things they were supposed to learn from their families.but since they are unfortunately orphans and stay with us, they would otherwise not learn it, and one day they would have a problem due to that!

a different project is the mais farm, where we try to show different methods of farming.

peter, our farmer, in our field

its almost the end of the rainy season - pictures like this will not be possible in a few weeks anymore

 now i have two volunteers here with me again - and like this there are some places i visited again. one example is gambaga, where there is a witch camp. i had some pictures of this place in may, but now see some more!

drying maize and groundnuts

...same in a different compound!

one of the "witches"

some other people in gambaga - outside the witch camp

these fruits are used for the "calabass" - to store water, and it stays cool inside!

girl with a pretty amazing hair style!

since it is rainy season, also the grass in our compound grows fast - our donkeys helped us to "cut" it. haha, dear mother, what about this solution for your garden?!

today is el classico" - and i cant watch it... what a pitty.

anyway, soon i will have another post, becuse last weekend we attended a funeral. it was amazing, and there are some nice fotos you need to see!

all the best, hope you are all fine! best from ghanas north, sevi
