Today was slightly depressing. The team went on outreach to a Liberian refugee camp. The living conditions were poor, and there were many people there. I couldn't begin to imagine what life in a refugee camp would be like every day.
The people met outside a church, and we assessed them one by one. My task again was to take visual acuity. There were chickens pecking around the area where we were working.
The houses in the refugee camp were small and run down. I saw many young mothers with babies, and there were children running around playing.
Again, the only familiar part of the new scenery is the red soil! It's surprising how much it reminds me of home.
The picture below is of a young girl standing beside the visual acuity chart:
Last night, the other volunteers and I went for a nice meal at a Chinese restaurant in town. The meal was huge, delicious, and inexpensive! We're going somewhere again for supper tonight.
Have a good day.

Are you really there? You haven't posted a pic of yourself in Ghana yet! You're doing great things, Adam, and setting a great example for the rest of us.
