Internship update

I found out that I'll be working with WISE - Women's Initiative for Self Empowerment - and that I'll be working in a refugee camp for Liberians just west of Accra. I don't know what I'll be doing yet - I showed up at my internship on Monday, and then they acted really awkward, took the staff member I was with aside for like 20 minutes, and then he told me to come back Monday. Everyone else apparently got a nice warm welcome, and they seemed like they didn't even want me there, but oh well.
Also Matt Hawkin found this online for me when I told him about my internship

This isn't the organization I'll be working with, but it is the same refugee camp. Doesn't look as miserable as I was thinking, but I'll see next Monday. Probably.
