Day 6: Day in Bolga and Navrongo Dec 23


Evening family and friends from Sirigu!

Today was a rather uneventful day when compared with others so far, but that does not mean that exciting and important things didn't happen. Today we met with the DCE of the region to discuss sustainability of our projects now and in the future. We also began the initial dialog for education of the community about the the water plaza and irrigation system. We spent most of the day in Bolga searching for a modem so that we can update the blog regularly (to the glee of our families I'm sure). Tomorrow it will be Christmas eve and work won't continue until Monday, this weekend we will be relaxing and doing our very best to experience Ghanaian tradition.

Our guide, Moses, has helped us in many of our endeavors so far and will surely be an essential asset in the coming weeks as we spend more time in Yua working on our two projects. It has become a common theme for Moses to pile more and more food onto our plates telling us that “we do not eat enough”. I swear I have eaten more on this trip than ever before because of Moses, but he has become a great friend for all of us on the team and I hope that we will keep that friendship alive while on different continents.
