An Experience of living in a community (Naverensa)Upper East
Hi friends and love ones here is a beautiful day on the 01/06/21 am here to tell you a very life interesting development i had made when i had the chance to travel and stay at Navrensa in the upper East region for about seven (7) weeks Navrensa is a lovely community located in the upper east Region closed to sandema Navrensa is a farming community where most of the people living there are farmer's
they are hard working a very friendly as well we were there as part of our curriculum of study in the university for development studies ttfpp we were to determine the problem this community people are facing we got to navrensa at exactly 7:00pm and were taken to the nurses quarters to rest so that in the morning we can make a proper community entry.
In the morning we wake up and got ready we were directed my the community assembly man to the chief's place were we made a proper community entry
At the chief's place making a community entry
We told the chief and his sub chiefs why we were in thier community and they were so happy to receive us and we were even given a goat as a welcome to show how happy they were to have us in thier community we started with our data collection the fellow day and we made a lot of observation as well i observed that most of the women in this community were so hard working and most men there just drink alcohol under tree and there were so many teenage pregnancies in the community as young as 15 years old girl married to 45 year old man and even pregnant it was a friendly community we play football with members and teachers of this community we went hunting too during our stay there with members of this community farm with them and cook with them as well but i had to tell you it was difficult to swallow their food since it looks different from what we normally take our stay in this community was coming to an end since we had taking all the data and through swot analysis we came out with thier most pressing need which was lack of portable water for drinking from the data taken from the clinic most of their sickness were water related i could remmber one particular sunday for us to be able to get data from the community church we all including the muslims had to dress to attend church and after church service we asked the pastor for more understanding about various religious bodies in the community we were told most of them were traditoinalist the day for our accessment was here
Waiting to be Access by our supervisors
after the accessment and scoring we went back to the community and did our community exit and the chief gave us a goat again and he said he will love to have us stay more since when we have gotten here the children of the community have been learning alot from us because we do help the teachers in the class room and organize games for the children as well but we were in a hurry to get home we talk for some time and then headed back to the quartes and call for a motor king to carry us to sandema for us to get to Navrongo so we can all head to our various places,
We got to sandema at 4:25pm and then joined a car to navrongo and i proceeded to Tamale i got home at arjjnd 10:18pm it was realky a libely experience i really enjoyed living in the community cost i t makes lige very easy and simple you dont spend money so much all you had to do is cook and then go to the farm i really like the seven weekes we spend there and wishing to go back there some other time hope you had a community adventure as well thanks for your time.
