oh why

So I have been a volunteer for two years now and I keep getting similar questions to why I chose to extend for another year. Ranging from why and how or even what but really everyone has their own reasons for the things we do and truthfully I am not finished with Ghana yet. It may seem strange that even Ghanaians ask me some times how I can live with no electricity but again I have to say that I enjoy the people and sometimes the silence not to mention the stars at night. When you don't have lights for example you live your life in a more natural way that follows the cycle of the sun, going to sleep when it gets dark and waking when the sun rises is a very refreshing way to live and I suggest it to anyone who wants to try even just for a week. We sometimes get to distracted with all of our gadgets and forget what life is really like without computers and Ipods. It is not that it is boring at all but you may have to face the reality of evaluating yourself a little more than you are used to doing. This I believe can make anyone a better person so try it sometime.

Peace, Love, and all the Good stuff
