Mobile phones
Hi Lesley! I would say its probably cheapest to keep your current mobile (but make sure it is unlocked so it can accept local SIM cards) and then buy a local SIM card. I just asked my friend how much we paid for it, she says 1 cedi which is less than 50pence, I thought it was a bit more, but either way its still cheap! Sending a text in Ghana costs less than 2pence (between Ghanaian SIM cards). Its much cheaper to call home to Britain from a Ghanaian SIM card than it is using a UK SIM over here. Mine doesn't work anyway! Hope that helps and you have a good trip! x

Hi Wendy
Hi Wendy, thanks for your message. Its nice to hear my blogs are helpful! Do you know if she will be in Accra? Its a shame I'm leaving on the 9th September otherwise we could have met up! I have met quite a few 17 year olds here with Projects Abroad, and even one 16 yr old, so i'm sure she'll be fine. If she wants to look at my photos she can add me on Facebook - Dorothy Appleyard. I can never manage to get that many up on here because its really slow!x

Thanks for the info!
My daughter Margo will be in Ghana with Projects Abroad from Sept. 21 for three months. She's only 17 so of course I will worry about her, although she traveled to Germany on her her own at 16. The whole family are really enjoying your blogs and the fact that you're preparing her for what to expect. Nothing has fazed her so far, and I think she has the same sense of humour as you, which I think will be a great way to handle the different conditions she'll be living under. She'll be working in an orphanage (not sure exactly where yet) and also in a hospital. She's from the west coast of Canada, so has a long way to travel to get there, but is looking forward to everything, including meeting other volunteers like you. Keep up the great blogs and sense of humour! Sincerely, Wendy Milton

Hi Dorothy glad you have arrived safely and are enjoying your stay, it sounds amazing. I had a great holiday and visited Ephesus and Pamukale which was awesome. I am finding it hard to get back into the swing of things. The weather here is realy hot at the moment and forecast to get hotter 27 degrees on Friday. But then guess what-rain. I went to WW and lost 2.5 pound, how do you do that on holiday? I went again this week put 3 back on. Everyone at work says Hi- we all really miss you. Things are really busy at the moment and I am so tired-must be my age. Well I am ready for bed now so am signing off. take care and I look forward to reading your next update Denise

Very good Picture "VIP WC" in Ghanaand a good observant
Hello Ms. Dorothy Appleyard, My name is Papa Cole; a Ghanaian and Cape Coaster; from Cape Coast. I am living in Stuttgart Germany; and observing critically our problems concerning household and street waste, water supply, use and wastewater problems and other misuse of our environmental as a whole. I am now working on an environmental project about the awareness and studies of Ghanaian (African) Society's growing 'manmade environmental problems studies and its impacts'. I am also finding ways how to educate, teach and help the societies to understand the basics principles of the growing problems using or applying our own African story telling philosophy, but not necessary adopting European teaching style or methods when necessary. I have being visiting your Site, Travel Blog and have the interest of using some of the environmental scenes from your photos gallery concerning this topic. My reason of calling on you is to ask for the correct way to allow me or have the permission to use these photos. By the way the title of my script is 'The first animal Summit'; A revolt against human abuse of the environment. I think there is nothing to say now than to wait for your advice or whom I must contact to obtain permission to use some of the photos in the photo gallery. My warmest greetings Papa Cole
