Sunday I had two meetings in my village. One was with the TMT and the other was with another group in my village who wants to start a mushroom-growing project. So, that was a jam-packed day! Ha!
My TMT is 'trying' to re-organize. This means they meet every once in a while and have a semi-serious discussion about getting new members. Well, at our meeting on Sunday we did get one thing accomplished: we figured out that no one is chopping money. The receipts were checked to the record-book and cash and all checks out! So, that's nice for me to know. Now, I just have to try to get them to hold a community meeting to set everything straight (there was a lot of suspicion in my village that the TMT members were chopping money) and inform the community of how the money is and how it will be used. Oh and today a few of the members are to come into the nearest city to open a bank account. Yay!
The other group is trying to start a mushroom-growing project to raise some money for the group, so I am helping them to start this. Other volunteers around here have been growing mushrooms for their personal use or with a group, so they have given me information about where and how to grow the mushrooms. I'm glad to work with this community group because they are a local chapter of a larger organization: the Ghana Association for the Blind. They are a disabled group of individuals, so it feels good to be able to help them.
My boyfriend came back from his trip home to the US just a few days ago. He brought me SO much chocolate and chocolate chip cookies, so I'm pretty happy. ha! His grandma also gave him this DVD player that looks like a small TV screen. Pretty awesome. We borrowed some bootleg movies from my neighbor and have watched a few on Sunday. Realized movies are much more entertaining when the video and the sound actually match. HAHA. But beggars can't be choosers. I've never been one to be really into watching TV, but I really enjoy watching movies as a way to forget about where I am and just take a break now and then.
