I'll be working at a District Agriculture Development Unit, but I just don't know which district.
Along with this news, I also received a large quantity of information that I'm quite excited to read. It's going to be difficult to fit it in with the studying/packing/emptying apartment, but I'm really looking forward to becoming more familiar with this approach. I'm going to learn so much even before I actually get there, given that at this point I know very little about agriculture or business management. As I read and understand more, I hope to share as much of it as I can on this wonderful bulletin of my JF life. That way, we can compare together how the on-paper descriptions match up with the work in the field.
While learning about what my life will look like over the next four months, I'm also learning a lot about what my life has looked like for the past, oh, 20 years. I've been doing a bit of scrapbooking, and a lot of life-contemplating. I look at my life, my family, and my friends, and think of how lucky we are to have all that we have. It makes me see all the differences between my life and the lives of the people I am trying to help. However, I also see similarities, because I know that like me, rural Ghanians also have an awesome network of friends and family who make their lives amazing. I'm excited to become part of that network, become friends with the people in my community, to see their goals and enjoy their successes as if they were my own.
All for now, wastewater notes are calling!

Hi Anne,
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea to compare what you read about agriculture and business management and what you experience. I am really looking forward to learning with you and then long conversations about it all when you get back!
