2022年1月2日（见下方英文）
当地时间早上7:00准时降落在阿克拉。入境程序非常清晰，并且迅速完成。包括预先登记的冠状病毒检测在内的多个环节不到15分钟。我们的行李也完整无缺。与此相对的是Chris Gulley的行李。他按计划从阿姆斯特丹出发，但由于暴风雨，他们把所有乘客的行李全部卸下，飞机在没有行李的情况下起飞。这对Chris和项目是一次沉重的打击，因为除了更换的衣物（这里每天都急需好几次）外，还有部分假肢也丢失了。不过稍后再谈这个。
所以在我们迅速取到行李后，我们等待了入境测试的结果，这个测试需要提前从德国预定，费用为150美元。但这个过程也很快，我们便可以继续前往海关，对此我们非常尊重，因为我们携带了大量物品用于Ogidis的办公室，虽然所有物品都声明为捐赠，但相应的证明信Ogidi没有及时提供。我们朝着两个海关官员走去，而Ramon以他独特的风格，仅用两个或三个词在20秒内便赢得了这颗“硬果”，包括兄弟的拳头、交换电话号码与承诺在德国见面，正是由于这个转移注意力的因素，让我变得相对简单，进关的过程如此顺利，以至于我们至今仍感到惊讶。
Chris G.为我们安排了一辆来自Lavender Lodge的车，我们的酒店，司机在等我们，并迅速将我们送到了酒店。简单办理入住，整理一下，然后通过Uber前往营地。虽然我得等几分钟“马哈鲁夫人”，但我可以先稍微看看酒店。酒店是一处安静的小绿洲，位于阿克拉市中心。保持得非常简单，但完全可以接受，并且大部分很干净。
当我们称Uber司机为“年轻的路易斯·汉密尔顿”时，穿过阿克拉的过程中，我们获得了一些关于阿克拉的初步印象。
到达营地附近后，Sebastian接我们并带我们去了阿克拉艺术中心。已经有一些人等着他们的假肢，而Chris Gulley和围绕Ogidi的当地团队已经开始忙碌。我们简单地进行了定位，然后慢慢地参与了进来。
‘前臂假肢’仍在Chris G.的行李中并在前往阿克拉的飞机上。因此所有事情稍微进行了重新安排，所有涉及关节截肢的患者被推迟到次日。这并不简单，因为有人需要花很长时间才能到达。不过在这种情况下是可行的。所以这一天我们专注于那些我们在印度就熟悉的“普通”病例，他们得到一个简单、预制的假肢。但我们却面临了“柠檬交易”，因为只有5个!!! 其他所有人都获得了一个额外的上臂延长件。这对我们来说其实是全新的，我们必须先学习。在此过程中，热塑性板在沸水中加热，然后直接放置在残肢上并进行调整。这既聪明又困难。它之后会迅速冷却并变硬。随后，在多个工作步骤中，带子、扣件和美容手及工作手的对应部分被调整并安装。这样，每个人都得到了一种完全独特、个性化的假肢。所有的手都是使用3D打印机预制的，有三种不同的大小。
在整个过程中，一支来自加纳的电视团队在场，并有来自阿克拉的不同议会代表到场。出现了一件只能在这里发生的事情：议会代表们兴奋不已，向Ogidi赠送了两块土地，以便他能够建立办公室。这让人非常感动并令人印象深刻。
在他的工作站上待了一段时间后，Ramon立即引入了新的流程和技术，在最后假肢被覆盖上类似肤色的皮肤的地方。他立刻在与Alaska和Richard（两名当地的幽默且友好的助手）的组里成为了“秘密老板”。没有人，包括两名最酷的加纳人，能够逃避所提供的德语/伊朗魅力。当然，恐惧在他的身高中也起到了作用 ;-) ...深植、合理的恐惧。
在第一天我们也认识了微软先生和夫人：Martina和Sebastian。两个词：酷且绝对宜人。我们一见如故，合作得非常愉快。
大约下午5点，我们完成了所有的工作。之后我们参观了附近的独立纪念碑，然后坐Uber回酒店。汽车有其“魅力”，并且存在轻微的“维护滞后”（见照片）。
在酒店里，喝了一瓶本地啤酒，洗了个澡，晚上9:30吃了一顿非常早的晚餐后，我们在自己的床上结束了晚上。除了Chris G.：他还得去机场取走带有前臂关节的行李箱。幸运的是，一切都在。

Punctual landing in Accra at 7:00 am local time. The entry procedure was very clearly defined and was carried out quickly. Several stations including the previously registered corona test took less than 15 minutes. Our luggage was also complete. Quite the opposite of Chris Gulley's luggage. He had flown from Amsterdam as planned. But there they had unloaded all the luggage of all passengers due to the storm and had taken off without it. That was a hard blow for Chris and the project, because in addition to a change of clothes, which one urgently needs here (also several times a day), some of the prostheses were also missing. But more on that later.So after we had our luggage very quickly, we waited for the result of the entry test, which had to be booked beforehand from Germany for $150. But that also went quickly and we were allowed to continue to customs, for which we had the greatest respect, since we had a lot of material for Ogidi's office with us, which was all declared as donations, but the corresponding letter to prove it , unfortunately Ogidi could not provide in time. We moved towards the two customs officers and while Ramon, in his inimitable way, with just two or three words, was able to win the supposedly tougher nut as a new friend within 20 seconds, incl. bro fist, exchange of hand numbers and the Promising to meet in Germany was easy for me because of this distraction and we got through so easily that even now we're still surprised.Chris G. arranged a car for us from Lavender Lodge, our hotel, and the driver was waiting for us and drove us to the hotel fairly quickly. Check in briefly, freshen up and then take the UBER to the camp. Although I had to wait a few minutes for 'Madame Mahrou', I was able to take a look around the hotel. It's a small, quiet oasis in the middle of Accra. Very simply kept, but perfectly fine and mostly clean.While the Uber driver, we just called him 'Young Lewis Hamilton', drove us through Accra, we got a few first impressions of Accra.Arriving near the camp, Sebastian picked us up and took us to the Accra Arts Center. A few people were already waiting for their prostheses and Chris Gulley and the local crew around Ogidi were already busy working. We then orientated ourselves briefly and were then able to slowly board.
Now the 'forearm prostheses' were still in Chris G.'s luggage and on the plane on the way to Accra. So everything was reorganized a bit and all patients with an amputation of the joint were postponed to the next day. This is not trivial at all, since some people have a very long journey to get there. But in this case it was possible. So that day we concentrated on the 'normal' cases that we already knew from India and that get a simple, prefabricated prosthesis. But then we traded in lemons because there were only 5!!! was. Everyone else got an additional upper arm extension. That was actually completely new for us and we had to learn it first. In the process, a sheet of thermoplastic is heated in boiling hot water and then placed directly on the residual limb and adjusted. Just as brilliant as it is difficult. It then cools down relatively quickly and becomes hard again. Then, in several work steps, straps, fasteners and the counterpart for the cosmetic hand and the working hand are adjusted and attached. Everyone gets a completely unique, customized prosthesis. The hands are all prefabricated in three different sizes using 3D printers.A television crew from Ghana was present throughout the day and various representatives of Parliament from Accra attended. And something happened that can only happen here: the representatives of Parliament were so enthusiastic that they gave Ogidi two plots of land so that he could build his office. That was very emotional and very impressive.
After some time at his station, where the prostheses are finally covered with a skin-colored skin, Ramon immediately introduced new processes and techniques. He was immediately 'the Secret Boss' in the group with Alaska and Richard (two local, incredibly funny and friendly helpers). No one, not even the two coolest Ghanaians, can escape the German/Iranian charm on offer. And of course fear also plays a role in his height ;-) ... deep-seated, well-founded fear.On the first day we also met Mrs and Mr Microsoft: Martina and Sebastian. Two words: cool and absolutely likeable. We all got along right away and we worked great together.At around 5:00 p.m. we were done with everything. We then looked at the nearby Independence Monument and then took an Uber to the hotel. The car had its 'charm' and a minor 'maintenance backlog' (see photos).In the hotel, after a local beer, a shower and a very early dinner at 9:30 p.m., we ended the evening in our own beds. Except for Chris G. : he still had to go to the airport to pick up the suitcases with the forearm joints. Luckily everything was there.
