End of Work – 08/07/08

Wow! It’s finally over. Today I turned in my report to PPAG HQ in Accra and received all my evaluation forms so I’m officially done. On Friday I had my last Peer Educator meeting and said my goodbyes at the clinic but of course without the report, you can’t say you’re done . On Friday, while I was glad to be heading home, I felt sad because I’ve really come to love Cape Coast and my co-workers. I learned a lot and yet I wanted to learn more and spend more time with the nurses and project managers. I achieved the objectives of my practicum (hooray!) and wish so much to get a PAYING job in Ghana after graduation (it’s harder than you’d think) but I’m praying and working on it so we’ll see.

Anywho, it was a busy month and a half but totally worth it. I presented my Thank You card and farewell gifts to my coworkers after which Mrs. Brown made a thank you speech on behalf of everyone at the clinic, the JICA volunteer cried, and we all chatted a bit before going home. I’ll miss that place but I’m glad to be going home to Accra to spend more time with family and friends (and no more crazy commutes over weekends…hehe).
