Today was such an eventful day. Abby and I went on a walk through the village and were met by many of our new friends. Our friend Patrick owns the local "Jiffy" and he invited us to come and sit down. While visiting with Patrick, he gave us orance Fantas, that were ice cold!!!! And Saltines, which I personally had been craving for days! Then we stayed and watched the first half of the France vs England soccer match.
While watching the soccer match a few of our students came to join us. Everywhere we go we are have a little group of kids that follow us, to keep us company. After the soccer match we then go to play vollyball in the street with a few of our other students. It took us a little while to figure out how to hit our "vollyball" which was made of a sock filled with rice. But nontheless we got the got the hang of it and it was a lot of fun!
Below is a picture of Abby and I with the seamstress who tailored our dresses, that the last village gave to us. She refused to charge us for any of her work because she wanted to thank us for the work that we are doing here. This has been one of the many gifts we have received since arriving to Dzebatato.
Once again we are just blown away with all the generosity we have experienced. It has been exciting to come to a new village and make even more Ghanaian friends!
Glad to hear the summer is going so well! Your dresses are beautiful!
