Ahhhh....the weekend!

This post marks the end of our long and tiring week at the school. On Thursday I helped in the seventh grade and the sixth.  My mom is taking pictures of each of the children and we are going to try to make a yearbook for the school.  Here are a couple of kids.

Forgive

One of the BSC students made a bookshelf out of empty water bottle boxes.  We brought lots of books to leave with the school and these portable shelves will make it easier for the teachers to use them in the classrooms.

Yesterday (Saturday), we went on a LONG drive to Wli Falls.  It’s the largest waterfall in Western Africa.  We left the hotel at 7 am and got there at about 11:30.  After a quick lunch and a 30 minute hike, the falls appeared.  It was awesome.  There are hundreds of bats on the rocks by the falls.  Look closely at this picture (near the top left) and you can see them hanging out there.

There was a pool of water below it and even at 20 yards away from the falls, you could feel the mist.  We all waded in and took pictures.  It was a refreshing end to the morning.

Then came our long drive back to the Shekinah Glory Hotel in Sogakope.  Last night I had my first Ghanaian hamburger at “Somewhere,” a restaurant near the Volta River.  It was really good, but not quite like home!
 

Today we are planning for our last three days at Bakpa Avedo and going to the beach this afternoon.
