Take a look at this picture and see if you can tell what is going on.
The past few days, our hostel has been out of water. This means no showers or flushing toilets. Yesterday morning, I awoke to pouring rain and found that our water was still gone. So here I was, going downstairs to fill my bucket because, though water was everywhere, we had none.
The situation made me laugh because it seems to describe Ghana’s current situation. Stuck. There are commodities, but they are unreliable. That is perhaps the root of most of my frustrations here. It is the in-between nature of developing and developed that makes living here unpredictable. It’s almost easier to have a hole in the ground than a toilet that only flushes every once in a while.
But I need to be understanding because at least they’re on their way.
