Today we returned to Manya Krobo to finish teaching about HIV/AIDS, and start our anemia program. Sometimes Mother Nature has different plans than we do! Kathleen and Cameron were just finishing the last HIV lesson, when it started to absolutely pour buckets. The building we were meeting in had a tin roof, which made it difficult to hear a person standing only a foot away from you, and impossible to conduct a class! I'm learning that in Africa, you just kinda roll with whatever happens, so we had a fabulous time singing, dancing and playing games with the girls instead. It actually ended up being a really fun afternoon!

| The kids in Gray Memorial school's 1st grade loved the donated chalkboards! |
 |
| We were all in love with this beautiful baby in Manya Krobo, but Amanda was lucky enough to get to tote her around in the African baby wrap. |
 |
| I thought African women walking around with things on their heads was a bit of a stereotype... not so! |
 |
| Torrential rains! There was a HUGE clap of thunder and then lightning struck the building in the background. I'm pretty sure it was the loudest noise I've ever heard, and we all screamed appropriately. |

| We were playing a clapping game called 2,4,6,1,1, when the thunder sounded and the lightning struck. Bailey snapped this picture at that exact moment and I think our faces say it all! (Notice the Ghanaian girl covering her ears :) |

| Heather gettin' down with the girls. I think they are very impressed with the way we white people dance :) |
 |
| Megan learned a gospel song from the girls, and then taught them to sing "Love One Another". |

How sweet is that baby??? Is she an orphan? Or are you guys also working with infants and families?
ReplyDeleteHey Hilly! I think I want one of those baby wraps! They look comfy :)
