Today was a really good day. In the morning, we got our hands dirty and really felt like we made a difference at the JoshKrisDan Home. We split up into three groups. One group built a retaining wall with pavers and cement. Another group cleaned the entire house. They scrubbed the floors on their hands and knees and helped wash the laundry by hand. And the third group spruced up the boys bunk beds with a fresh coat of paint. We worked hard but made it fun by signing, dancing, and enjoying each others company.
After lunch we headed to the village of Old Ningo where we got a taste of what it is really like in Ghana. We walked through the residential area, bartered at shops on the road, talked with the people, and enjoyed some roasted peanuts and frozen chocolate milk.
Favorite Memories:
1. Julia bartered for a really nice beaded necklace and ended up getting 5 cedis off the price!
2. Mary made a friend with a village girl.
3. Jill got yelled at for taking pictures of a man in the village and she didn't even take his picture!
