As a group we have really incorporated ourselves into the community. Many of the girls have been performing their teaching projects. Thus far, we have done dental hygiene, sickle cell anemia, and alcohol safety. They all went really well and the audiences have been EXTREMELY receptive. Bolgatanga is such a beautiful culture and the people have been so welcoming! We are all working on our Fra Fra skills and have been having such a wonderful time.
We have gone to the craft villages, seen fufu being made pounded in by long, large pieces of wood, and bought many mangos and bananas off the street. They are DELICIOUS.
The group also traveled to Ginza for the crocodile pond. It was so much fun. In Ghana, they believe that the crocodiles are the ancestors of the people in Ghana. If you kill a crocodile, you are charged for murder in the first degree!
