MA CFE 2016 Ghana Trip!: Day 6 in Ghana - more pictures from the Village of Okurase

Here are some pictures of our work day at the soccer field behind the school (which was just behind the Nkabom House where we were staying). Enjoy!

Here is the start of our workday on the soccer net made out of recycled water sachet bags. Note the size of the net at the beginning of the day and watch how it grows bigger by the end of the day!

Like most of our days working on the projects, there were a few things going on at once. Here are a few pictures of pouring dirt on different parts of the field to make the ground more level in certain areas for safety reasons. We would all work together - the Ghanaian villagers and the American visitors!

Measuring the field to make sure the dimensions were as accurate as possible.

Mrs. Johnson walking with some of the girls from the village picking up trash and empty water sachet bags to cut up for the net. I walked around with this group of girls for about 45 minutes and we had great conversations - they told me about their school and asked me questions about our school. I could tell they really wanted to know more about America, and especially school. They were really sweet and I'll never forget our fun time together that afternoon - it was very memorable.

Still working on the net... it's getting bigger!

Close up shot of the net and one of our Ghanaian friends and helpers. You can really see how the pure water sachet bags are cut up, tied together, and connected to form the net.

More friends from the village and helpers with the net and field.

Reading a book to the kids after lunch. This was a Where's Waldo type of book - no words, just look for the figures in the crazy pictures. They loved it!
