Getting to know the group....

In our newly formed group there are a few people from across Canada. One from Vancouver, 3 from Montreal, and 1 from Nova Scotia, 6 of us are from Toronto. Great group of people so far....Today, we had some team building and....my favourite thing....ice breakers. The group dynamics is really interesting, we have people of all styles and experiences....so far, so good!

After our session Rachelle (volunteer from YCI--Youth Challenge International) invited the entire group to her house for dinner and a movie. We watch "Yesterday", which was about a South African women who dealt with the pain of AIDS . It was really emotionally because there is a lot of misunderstanding with the villagers about what HIV/AIDS is and how fatal it really can be....a-must-see film. We finished the evening travelling back to our hostel to wind down and to reflect on our day. I just want to be in Ghana already! Just 4 more days!
