I'm not entirely clear on exactly what I will be doing in Ghana but I'm sure I will find out soon enough. My impression is that I will be assisting communities in dispute resolution through mediation/informal litigation and also providing advice to local people about their legal rights. I am supposed to do that knowing next to nothing about Ghanaian law and Ghana in general, of course. Personally I feel sorry for the poor souls I will be 'helping' but I'm sure it will be a positive experience for all involved!
I'll be working with VPWA for two months before flying down to South Africa and spending a few days in the beautiful city of Cape Town. After that I'm picking up a tour of southern Africa, visiting the Namibian desert, the Okavango delta in Botswana, and then finishing off at the majestic Victoria falls in Zambia.
Throughout my trip I will be blogging my experiences - highs and lows- of living and working in Africa. In addition, I'll be giving my views on Africa in general and hopefully recording some of the life changing lessons I'm sure to learn while spending time in this beautiful continent.
