A Slice Of Home
· My time in Ghana is now half way gone, and for other interns, their time is up. Four of our interns departed for home this weekend. Despite only being together for four weeks, our group of interns has become very close to one another. We all speak of pans of visiting each other when we reach home, sending letters, and remaining in close contact. On top of four interns leaving, it was also two interns birthdays this week, Theatrice and Shelby. With so much to celebrate, we threw a party at Oasis Beach Club for the departing interns last night, as well as for the two birthdays. We surprised Theatrice and Shelby with a chocolate birthday cake. Dessert in Ghana is not popular, especially cake, so it was very exciting. Although it did not taste like a normal cake, it was a slice of home for everyone. As soon as we demolished our cake we all talked about our memories here in Ghana. We laughed at jokes and about the things we have done here. We cried for the interns who are going to leave. I think we all realized how much we miss home, but we also recognized that we will all miss Ghana once we depart. To end the night, we danced until the stars were the only light on in the city.
