Chapter 72...The lasts!

This week is a week full of lasts for me in Bolga...
  • My last day at the GES office.
  • My last moto ride on my big red mean machine.
  • My last stroll around the market.
  • My last stop-off at the local shop on my way home to buy all my daily essentials.
  • My last chat with Sister Akua at lunchtime while I munch on fruit.
  • My last sleep in my room.
  • My last bit of baking in the oven.
  • My last egg 'n' bread at Travellers. 
  • My last hold of the adorable baby (whose name I can't spell) at work.
  • My last tro ride to Tamale.
I am super excited about the adventure that lies ahead in starting a new Ghana life in Tamale, but I am also deeply sad about leaving Bolga behind. The biggest reason for my sadness is that somehow I managed to live my life for nine months not realising just how much this place has touched me. How much the people I see on a daily or weekly basis mean to me and how emotionally challenging it will be to say goodbye when I get on that tro to leave. Doing all these 'lasts' really is closing the chapter on 'Hannahs Volunteer Story' leaving the big question...what next?

  2. Nope, unless you think it should be? I have a couple more up my sleeve to do with VSO (surprise) and Ghana itself. With 19 days until I fly, I reckon that's at least two more posts...
