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.
