Here is a picture of our first day in Kyekyewere with some Habitat workers and a few of the village representatives. This was taken briefly after we all drank gin and schnapps together as part of the welcoming ceremony. Although it is difficult to imagine, we are nearing the end of our build. Tomorrow we dedicate two completed homes and say goodbye to the friends we have made. We are then headed to Cape Coast for some much needed R & R. It has been a challenging and difficult build at times, but it feels good to help people who are so friendly, kind, and in need. We will miss so many of them. We are all doing well but are looking forward to some rest along the coastline.
On Sunday, we played soccer with the locals in a rather one-sided game. In the evening, we participated in a cultural exchange with a local family from Kumasi. It is always interesting to learn about the values and beliefs of other cultures. We are really not so different from each other.
Tuesday night, we played local games with many of the villagers including Oware, Ludu, and Spar. Much to the amusement of the locals, we did not do very well.
Enjoy the pictures:
