My favorite parts of the trip so far have probably been seeing the drummers and dancers in Accra. Vollunteering at Martyrs of Uganda Jubillee School (a sister school to sma) and being in Akokoamong, painting the classrooms.
Being with the students at Matyrs was a little overwealming but really fun. I did a lot of different things from teaching classes, playing football (soccer), grading books, and just fooling around with the kids. Everytime I would pull out my camera the kids would rush over to me trying to get in that picture. They didn't really care where the other kids were... so they would be pushing and jumping up to try an get in the shot. I got some pretty funny pictures and vidoes. Every morning when I would come to school a lot of little kids would come running up to me and give me a hug or high five.
All of us were in Akokoamong for 3 days (four nights). We set up our misquito nets/ sleeping pads in one classroom and food went in the other classroom. For our community service we painted 2 classrooms with the alphabet. Kay drew pictures for that letter and Jennifer wrote the name of that thing underneath. Both of the classrooms looked really cool!
We arrived in Cape Coast yesterday after a 13 hour car ride! It was a long day.
Tomorrow we are going to Kakum National park where we are doing a canopy walk. I'm really excited.
We only have five more days! This trip has been really fun and has gone by so fast. I'm excited to head home but at the same time I am definatly going to miss Ghana. I guess that means I will just have to come back again soon. :)
