Mondo's volunteers in Ghana

 Today I want to quickly share with you one of the most frightening experiences of my life (and I harda car accident already sooooo). I was going to the field on a motorbike with my mentor. In the beginning it was pretty funny and honestly I just loved it! It's a whole different vibe to get into the Savana with a motorbike rather than a car believe me!

I actually have already tested their good heart since I've been to the hospital and they decided to stay there with me the whole time. Nothing serious, I had some food poisoning i think (I exagerated with vegetables) and a tick bite that I had probably got by using the toilets on the field... I had my blood test done quickly and there was no immune response to any desease so everything should be fine, but I still ...
