Going to Ghana with VSO.....

As I am sure most of your already know I am leaving my home in the beautiful city of Canterbury, England to go and live and work in Ghana for 2 years. I’ve been placed by Voluntary Service Overseas to work as a Fundraising & Communications Advisor for Ghana’s National Association of the Deaf (GNAD).

I’ll be based in the capital city of Accra and will be given a house to live in, but I am still not sure where this will be or what it will be like, I guess this is all part of the adventure and I cannot tell you how excited I am!

Please keep in touch! I know I will be very very happy to hear from you. I will be able to access the Internet but I am not yet sure how regularly and will be able to be reached by post and I’ll let you know the address as soon as I do.

Now all I have to do is try and pack 2 years into a suitcase…!

    Emily, fantastic news that you're going to be blogging your experiences from your adventure.

    I hope that your arrival and initial transition into Ghanaian life goes/has gone smoothly and that we get to hear from you again very soon.

    Of course pictures of your house etc are obligatory.
