addition to the events, "Elections", "Christmas" and "New Year", which is also the title of my last blog entries, there were not many exciting things to experience. So I have heard also a long time nothing new to me. Since I live here, it may seem exciting not only for me. From "German view" it but this may possibly be? But you have to figure out, however, even ...
Yes, where do I start ...? Generally, I was in the last few months go. In comparison, almost never at the start time. In the first two months I was traveling almost every weekend and have experienced new things, so I managed only two Sundays in the church. I must admit, apart from these two times I'm not gone yet again. One church attendance was a very positive example. Since the photos were taken, I have put online. It was a special church service because the church choir presented on the day the first time his album that he recorded. For this reason, the church service would be particularly make effective, in order to then sell or eat the same as the CDs and cassettes can. The second church attendance was rather poor for it. The choir was under-staffed and lack the Predikt (as always Fanti and so for me not understandable) was boring, even for the Ghanaians - if I did not yawn frequent church attendance has been misconstrued. In addition to that in the next room, another religious service was held. The preacher of the other worship seemed to take his job very seriously, because he was sometimes louder than our own. It sounded even more like a Hetzpredikt in the form of a rhythmic prayer. What is most amazing, I was and endurance, as with the disguised voice, almost constantly on predikte. While we read a passage from the Bible, the church choir matched two songs and they made the tour to the donation box, the other preacher could be heard continuously. God seems to him special power given to have!
So I have a good and a bad example to realize the Ghanaian church. It makes me not feel guilty to have been only two times there. I'm not the only one among my colleagues. Most have been not much more there. Especially going through the Ghanaians not regularly. The "intercultural exchange" should take place here (as the words of the organization), is minimal, especially raises for me the question what it for bringing to attend a church service is held in a different language. The host families would of course be happy if the white man came with you, but it seems more likely that you will only be used again as a showpiece. I could ausschreifen at this point something, but what would now not my style of writing would do justice with which I started here already, still fit the title of this blog entry. There is generally a few things about which one can not just write here! Who in Goolge search terms "Ghana" and "voluntary service" invites enters on the second page, so to my blog. As I have heard there are already some people in this way Here are booted
- including a few parents volunteer colleagues. In this sense: A salute to the parents of Nicole and Anna!
Now back to the original topic. The decisive reasons why I have traveled in recent months, not much, is the one that is generally subsided among the volunteers, the initial euphoria somewhat. Added to this was to me that I "stole" my photo camera. I would have found it a pity, unique capture moments on the road to not. I have therefore postponed planned trips to the back. The time around the presidential elections played a role. Because of the precautions had to take to us the voluntary organization once again ordered more to Accra and so was another weekend where we really wanted to stay collected, had not been used for it. Soon came Christmas, which they wanted to do in the family and soon we are already in our earned vacation at the beach (which I wrote in the journal "New Year") gone ...
