My community was called Kotintabig. Don’t even bother searching on google maps cos you won’t find it😅. We didn't when we searched either. We went there somewhere around July 2019 and I have to say we had some our best and worst life experiences there.
My group had 10boys living in one room and 2 girls living in another. I wouldn't really call them rooms, more like classrooms😅. If you ever had to go home, you'd have to first take a motorking(tricycle) to another town where you'll get a trotro or taxi and from there you proceed to the nearest town Bolgatanga to board a car home.
We stayed there for 7 weeks doing data collection, did our final presentations and left for home again. The data we collected almost seemed like that which is taken in population census questionnaires. During our stay and before we left, we were given about 3 goats and this one right here was on the day we left just after our presentation.
We bathed and dressed up quiet professionally in attempts to score high marks for appearance and our effort was not in vain because we did. Don't mind my dressing, I took the combination thing too serious.😅
While waiting for our lecturers or assessors as we called them, we rehearsed our presentation. We put all the data we collected on a flipboard for our presentation.
In less than 2 hours after we rehearsed, our assessors came knocking and boy were we glad to see them. We took a couple pictures together after the presentation and waited for our departure bus.
It was a really nice and memory marking experience for us. My friends from Ghanaian Universities can relate😂
Thanks for reading
