Before I went to live with Mr. Patrick at Savior Children Foundation in Kasoa, Ghana, I had a volunteer orientation in Accura. I met so many interesting people from all around the world, including two incredibly hilarious, and fun girls from Ireland- Ashling and Therese. But extremely different as well- Aisling is an artist and Therese is an improv actor. It was all of the volunteers' first night in Ghana and we were put into pairs to room with. Some how Ashling, Therese, three other volunteers and I ended up chatting and eating Irish biscuits...also know as cookies, because Therese packed loads of snacks and is a great sharer. Long story short, we bonded a ton, and ended up traveling to south west Ghana, Cape Coast. After our Africa trip, we stayed in contact, telling our crazy Africa stories since we volunteered in different locations, but mainly through ridiculous snapchats and conversions over messaging. After talking about visiting, one night I just booked my flight. And a few months later on Christmas Day- I was flying to Ireland!
