Happy New Year!!
The post above contains a picture of a very peculiar monkey, a monkey that became a friend to my friends that was taken from a town not far from Toh-Kpalime, the village where the school is being built. I will have more updates on the construction process soon, but for now, I thought I'd leave this cute picture for you to enjoy, taken a few months back at a funeral in Tema. We brought Shalom along with us, and as you can see, she wasn't enjoying the captivity. Plus, you know monkeys have personalities and for some reason, me and Shalom just don't click!
But one cool thing about Shalom is she is VERY intelligent and has already saved human beings' lives. Shalom currently is living at a farm near the tip of the Volta Lake in the Eastern Region. It was at that very place where I received my first scorpion love-bite. I have been told by friends that Shalom has spotted POISONOUS SNAKES in the middle of the night and if it wasn't for her making noise and waking everyone up, it is very possible that the snake could have bitten someone. When recalling my scorpion bite experience, I am only grateful to God for sparing my life and making it a scorpion bite and not a snake bite. Snakes are much more lethal, and the way that it was hard to get a taxi to come and pick me to the hospital, I could have been finished.
So big up, SHALOM-SKI!!!
Until time I'm doing my thing;
Ese.
