First day on the ship in Sierra Leone, Africa

-Be the best today but better tomorrow-

I arrived yesterday here in Freetown, Sierra Leone. I was nervous, lots of butterflies in my stomach but happy. I have gave up my job on the cruise ships to come here. I was thinking what I am doing here, I was thinking REALLY??? This is so poor nation, people are living in bambu houses without nothing but still kids are playing on the street looking HAPPY!! That made me feel happy. I have met lots new people and it is strange to work with people who are actually doing this for nothing or are they? Volunteering gives so much back so is it really for free or do we actually get more than we give? Lots of different questions runs in  my head and this have been the first day. Amazing

On a first day we met with the deck crew, I introduce myself to everybody and got accepted really well. After that we had a meeting, we watched a videoclip about what faith is and how we can feel It. Faith was descripted that it is like a music, you just have to go with the flow and let the music take you. Interesting...Then I met the Captain and had a good chat with him, really nice person.

Another meeting at 09:00, all the head of the departments got to together and we discussed about future stuff.

Rest of the day I was walking around the ship, talking and asking all sort of things regarding my duties and any concerns regarding the safety or anything.
There is so much new things to me which I have to learn, all this is a huge challenge.

Life is an adventure.
