Week 20:
This week has been extremely busy, with Ben leaving Dwabor and five new volunteers arriving in Besease to begin work at the school and with Sampson’s after school reading group. Ben said a sad farewell to Dwabor although did have quite an eventful leaving do with Andy and Michael catching a whole chicken and eating it!
We have been busy painting the new sign board for Dwabor this week which involved lots of mess but it was highly entertaining. The pictures were chosen as they all have members of the community in them so that people can see what progress has been made and what part they have played in it. Whilst on the theme of painting the windows are nearly finished and looking good!
On site this week the roof shoes have been secured in place and the roof trusses prepared. The community labourers have spent some time this week building scaffolding so that the trusses can go up safely.
There has also been a huge delivery of coconuts for the roof insulation so the community labourers will be bashing each coconut to create enough insulation for both roofs!
The Bamboo training school designed a new treatment table for the bamboo so this has been sent to Elmina to be made which will allow the school to treat more bamboo at one time which will be very useful on site!
There have been two festivals this week, the boat festival in Cape Coast and the yam festival in Abayee which were fantastic! As you can see from the picture below the costumes were extremely extravagant.
