Back to London

Our great Ghanaian experience is over. We had three days in Accra to reflect on all our challenges and successes before boarding a night flight to London. The British Airways strike had delayed our departure by 24 hours. After 6 months, another 24 hours was not too big a deal. It gave us another day to re-adjust our thinking to being in London again.

We have been away from Wa now for almost two weeks. However hard we tried, preparing for the cold, damp and grey of London was not easy. Walking out into the tropical warmth of Wa and Accra is something we shall miss.

This is the last entry to this blog as we move onto a new chapter in our lives. We are looking forward to meeting up with all family and friends over the next few weeks. We are also looking forward to starting work with aspiring senior leaders in education. We have some work at an International School in Switzerland and will spend a lot of the summer looking back on some very happy Ghana memories.

We will maintain ongoing contact with schools, colleagues and VSO volunteers in Wa. We will also enjoy meeting up with friends from Ghana as they come back to, visit, or pass through, London. One thing is clear to us, and that is the intensity of our VSO experience will live with us for the rest of our lives.

Thank you so much to all those who have taken an interest in our time in Ghana and for all the support we have received. If anyone is interested in finding out more about volunteering with VSO, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

THE END!
