The outreach team visited a village within the greater Accra area today. Although Nima was within the city limits, it took upwards of three hours to drive there. Road construction is rampant in the city, and traffic just crawls along.
Not many people spoke English in the village, so it made for an interesting afternoon. My task was to take visual acuity. I had to rely on bilingual community members to translate the instructions to the patients.
Nima was not a particularly developed community. The people were warm but the conditions were uncomfortable.
Pictured below is the dispensing table:
The other volunteers and I are venturing into the city tonight. We are meeting up with some Canadians we met the other night. Should be a good time!
I'll write again soon,
Adam
