Exploring the Market

Wednesday, July 29th.

Back to the college by 8:30. This morning Obed started followed by Pascale. I went for a walk to visit the local primary and junior high school that is attached to this college. I meet a number of the students and talked to some of the teachers before Musah called me. I went back to our class to meet him and we talked about what to do about the mentoring workshop and the gender issues skits. The mentoring will happen Thursday instead of today. Then we went around and told the classes about the gender issue skits. Then it was time for our last visit to a remote school (see next page). When we got back we had lunch and then our group had the afternoon off. We had Eric drive us back to the market area to buy some fruit. We wandered around for a couple of hour looking and buying a few things and interacting with the people. Having Eric with us is a bonus as he is able to tell them who we are and we can take some photos. I met a woman who was cooking kenti and she told me about it and posed for some photos so I bought two of them and gave them to Eric. Two other women called 'obroni come here'. They wanted to pose with me too. We had a bit of spare time back at the hotel before dinner. Then we headed back to the college for our last Canada Night. We presented our slides and performed the chicken dance and then we danced with the locals and posed for endless photos. Back by 10:30 and off to bed.
