(Notice that this blog post is directly from the diary that I wrote in Ghana. All of my feelings and thoughts is how I felt during my journey.)
Tonight I thankfully felt cool. Nevertheless I slept really badly. Madeleine has been running back and forth to the toilet all night. I feel sorry for her and it seems like she’s also sick now. My stomach has not been kind either. It aches and it acts really weird! I wonder what my body wants to tell me because this is not normal. I can’t really describe it, it’s too disgusting. I’m starting to get really tired of my bad stomach now and it has never been this bad before. Three days until I go home and I’m really longing for it now.
I forgot to write yesterday that there was a big truck coming to the orphanage that sold large bags of water bags! It was very good since they are heavy to carry home from the market.
We had to go to the health centre in Senya today with Madeleine. She wasn’t feeling good at all and we suspect malaria. I hope we don’t have to go to Kasoa to take a test. When we waited for the doctor to show up I had a bad headache and felt really week which made me worried. I guess it was because of the heat today. When I got home I went to bed to sleep for a while. I’m getting more and more homesick every day now.
Silvia from the organization came to us today to help us fix the health insurance. But instead of that she had to come with us to the health centre. The nurses were supposed to come to the orphanage today to look at the children’s rashes. But they never showed up.
Madeleine didn’t need to travel to Kasoa, but she got medications for malaria and was sent home to rest. In the afternoon I got a high fever and it made me really worried. I hope to get better tomorrow, and if I don’t I’ll probably have to visit the doctor. I hope I don’t have to do that. I talked to my mother and Niclas for half an hour today. I feel finished with this journey now. I’ve seen and experienced a lot and I am ready to go home now 
I really miss my family and it makes me cry. They seem so far away now. My mother told me that my whole family will meet me at the airport! My mother, father, Niclas, Melissa, my grandmother and my grandfather. It made me happy! But I will probably cry when I see them.
Niclas told me that they have a lot of snow at home, it feels weird to hear that. I’m not looking forward to the snow… Silvia asked me today if I wanted to visit Helping hand before I go home. But I don’t think I can do it even though I really would like to see the children again. It would be too cruel to the children to come back for only a few hours and then leave again and maybe never come back. No, I don’t want that on my conscience.
I feel so brave that I’ve done this journey and I really hope that my family is proud of me. It takes an incredible amount of courage to cope with a journey like this one. I know that now. I admire everyone that does a volunteer journey.
This afternoon I slept for a while. My stomach wasn’t normal at all today. My intestines were really hurting. It’s starting to feel very worrying. I asked my mother to talk to the hospital in Sweden to ask them if they know what’s going on with me. They told her that this isn’t any symptoms of malaria. I hope my stomach is better tomorrow and that I don’t have a fever.
After dinner I felt a bit better. I had good appetite which is a good sign. The electricity has been off all day so I was really thrilled when it finally came back! It’s so nice to have the fan running and I’m glad I have my own room here so I can decide for myself how and when to run it. Now I’m going to read my book and then try to sleep. Good night.
