Hello everyone. Welcome to (dad)Steve's -sorry Emmas blog. It seems the internet is virtually non existent in northern Ghana, hence the lack of messages, although she did manage to skype us the night. She is settling in ok to the way of life and has been 'out in the field' this week. The worst thing is the oppressive heat. 37-40 degrees which makes even walking around hard work and having to put on factor 50. She has also got involved with a Canadian couple who live close by & run a sports and literacy session on Sat morns. Shes ok and sends everyone her love.
