Dingoni

Tamale, Ghana- UFS Volunteer House

Since Dr. Wanye took a rest today because he had been in the upper west doing surgeries (about 40 in one day!), he took a rest today, so we didn’t get to go the clinic and observe surgeries. Instead, we did yet another outreach, this time to the town of Dingoni. We did both the town and the school individuals, but separated the two groups as to avoid any chaos.

Even though we essentially did two groups in one day, it was still a surprisingly slow day, as we essentially finished up around 1 PM.

The rest of the day was just as slow… I did want to go somewhere, but it seemed like everyone else wanted to slouch around after they went to the internet café.
I went to Mariam Hotel again, and waited for the internet to come on, but didn’t until pretty late at night. Then… it started raining, really hard. So I waited until about 9 PM when it started drizzling, and walked quite fast back home. Thankfully it didn’t rain much harder, but it was interesting navigating through the now muddy roads, especially towards the end of the day.
