Now safely in Ghana and after a relaxed induction – introductions to locals, swimming, food etc. I've this morning had my first assignment in what seems to me to be a jungle village of Dwabor. I've been using a site level to survey the levels of Sabre's construction site for a new kindergarten school. 50 to 60 men are clearing the undergrowth with machetes and picks so I had plenty of helpers when it came to set up the laser level that I brought from home. I started at 6.30 and it felt like 11 by the time I finished due to the heat increasing hour by hour.
Off to Besease tomorrow for the elders meeting at 8am where I'll be introduced prior to starting to look at drainage issues next week.
It all sounds amazing Ian. I hope you are enjoying yourself and staying well.
ReplyDeleteHow is the food for vegetarians?
It's really rather good. With meat being so expensive and most other local food being cheap, it's easy for people to provide food without meat.
ReplyDeleteRedRed is good - red beans, fried plantain and rice. As is groundnut (peanut) soup which is served with a sticky rice ball that you dip in by hand - regretfully no chappattis though......
