first day at the orphanage....

Today was my first day at Osu Childrens home. It was more of an administrative day to be shown around and to decide where i would like to be placed. oooo!! before i even delve into what happened during the day let me tell you of the cheekiness of one lady that worked in the reception at the orphanage. Basically i came to the orphanage not really sure of what i was doing as my contact was unable to come with me. SO of i go with my most respectful english accent to inform the lady at reception that i was told to come at 10 am but i was a bit early. She goes to me... so em WHO SAID YOU ARE VOLUNTEERING and me being me and not my contact i did not know the name of the lady who i talked to.. so i was like i am not sure i was just told to come back on monday and she was like well IF YOU ARE NOT SURE THEN I AM ALSO NOT SURE... *rude tone and blunt response*. i mean i was shocked SHOCKED I tell you! ahah! a whole load of nonsense! i was sooo vex... but nehu back to the better stuff...

I had to choose the house i would start my volunteer work in. At first we went to the different houses just to look around and be introduced to the workers... lol before this point.. i digress a little... lol before we went of to be introduced the manager of the orphanage made a funny... as all the other volunteers are white she introduced them in their groups like they are from denmark those are from germany then she goes about me... you can tell she is seperate from these people because she is black!! loool! i chuckled.. sighh we all chuckled... i bbm'd my people and they 'lol'd' too...

where was i? oh yes.. so we went to the different depts. i got told in one house that i reminded her of her inlaw which was different.. i am sure they said she was pretty so all i could do was giggle.... i decided on working in the nursery first then moving on to the other departments as the weeks go by. it gets difficult when you think about the fact that the children there have been left... the cutest kids waving at me... oh lord... :( all they need is love shown!

tomorrow is my first day will be starting at 7 AM! yes i was as shocked as you are! lool... hopefully it goes well and i do what i need to do to help... earlyy night for me 2nyt..

Stay blessed my bloggfriends..



oo and TIP OF THE DAY- NEVER WALK AROUND LIKE THE MARKET SIDES OF GHANA WITH A 50GHC NOTE...IT IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING TO GET CHANGE!!
