the zoo

---

Hey all,

This morning, the volunteers took all the toddlers that could walk to Kumasi Zoo! They all loved it and walked round running to all the cages to see what was in it, only Emanuel was terrified after one of the chimpanzees put water in it's mouth then sprayed it all over us! After that he didn't think much to the zoo.

I wasn't keen either as the animals were all in small cages with nothing to entertain them and no shelter, so it was a bit depressing seeing that.

However, the real sad story is that Elizabeth, who was the baby that when i arrived was only 2 weeks old, passed away at the weekend. Last week she was really ill so she was taken to the hospital and they said they couldn't do anything! Natutally I've not taken the news well as she was so small and it only seems like a few days ago I was holding her in my arms.
