Day 71: The last days of our trip!

July 13-15 - Etchye. We stayed in a village with Pastor Prince Yevu. It was cool to be able to share our story with two churches in the Eastern Region. We loved getting to see another part of the country!

July 15-18 - African Atlantic Farm. An American, Kris, is starting a commerical farm in the Afram Plains and we were able to spend a few days observing his work on the farm and in the nearby village.

July 18-20 - Canapy Walk and Elmina Castle. These are two tourist attractions near Cape Coast in the Central region of Ghana. We enjoyed seeing the beauty and history of Ghana in a different light.

July 21-22 - Monkey Sanctuary and Wli Waterfall.
Macafui, our African brother, took us to these two tourist
sites. We got to feed bananas to monkeys
and stand underneath the tallest
waterfall in West Africa!
Definitely one of the highlighst of our trip!!

July 23 - Market!

July 24 - Our last day in Ghana. We were treated to Chinese and got to say goodbye to the Nyador family and the GCM employees that we got to know during our stay.

Day 58: Catch up time!!!

We are finally back to Tema! The last 2.5 weeks we didn't have very strong interent so we were not able to update everyone on the blog, but today we are back in the city and ready to post about our final village.

On June 24th we left Dzebedato to head to Akplale for our final 2.5 weeks in the bush. Here are pictures that we weren't able to post about the event:

In Akplale we taught at a Junior High School and a Primary school. We had to condense the curriculumn to be able to teach both sets of teachers and students, but they all learned very fast and still picked up on all the basic computer skills we were hoping to teach them. We enjoyed teaching older students because we could teach them even more than we were used too. Here are some pictures of our stay in Akplale:

These are a few glimpses of our final village. As of the 10th of July we officially finished teaching the ICT training that we came for. We have now journeyed to Tema and will spend the next couple of weeks working with a local church and seeing some different parts of Ghana.

Look forward to more updates!
