Day 11: Becoming an elder....



Today is a national holiday in Ghana and our school put on a ceremony to welcome us and the computers. 


The students displayed the tribes traditional dancing, accompanied by the traditional drumming. 


The village decorated us with traditional beads. We each received two braclets and two necklaces. For this area it's a great honor to have two of the traditional beads, because it symbolizes having the status of a village elder!
