Day 35: A day in the life of a Ghanaian village

5:30AM: Sun is up so we are too!

6:00AM: Make breakfast of either oatmeal, fried eggs, bread, cornflakes or all of it combined!


6:30AM: EAT!!!!

7:30AM: Daily Devos

8:30AM: Head over to school to greet teachers

9:00AM-11:30AM: Rotate through four groups of students teaching basic computer skills


11:30AM-1:00PM: Mid day break for lunch



1:00PM-3:00PM: Teach the teachers. So far we have covered all basic Microsoft Office programs, typing and will be covering the internet tomorrow.




















3:00PM-5:00PM: Wait out the heat at home before walking around the village. Most days we get many visitors. Today one of the elders of the church, David, came by with a large bag of coconuts for us to enjoy!


 In the meantime we like to treat ourselves to an ICE COLD Coca~Cola on the front porch and write e-mails home. Most of the time the local children gather around us to see what we are doing on the computer! 

5:00PM-6:00PM: Walk through the village and get to know some of the community members.


6:30PM: Dinner. This is a typical Ghanaian dish called Fufu. It is made with crushed cassava and crushed plantains. You eat it by dipping a small ball of the dough in a soup and swallowing.

7:30PM: Take turns heating water for our bucket showers.

8:30PM: The sun has gone down so time for bed!
