Week six was a great one with many exciting moments. Howard and Della arrived into the community greeted with smiles and warm welcomes. The hard work in the baking sun began in Monday morning, after being greeted formally by the elders, and a full morning whacking and leveling foundations lead to a good sleep on Monday night! Tuesday was another hard day working and ended with a tour of the village and saying hello to the friends already made from site. On Wednesday, Della came to school and did some reading with class 4. Wednesday evening saw in the first women’s group meeting in the Methodist Church. There was a great turn out and was a very positive start to the duration of this group! The plan to go to the beach on Thursday was stopped due to the rain storm that fell on Dwabor. So instead, it was dominoes, shopping for biscuits and drinking tea! However, Friday was by far the most exciting! First thing there was a meeting in the palace, (Della being oblivious to the fact it had been organised in the elders meeting on Monday!) there was a display of culture and a traditional wedding ceremony done by the elders. One of the most unique ways to propose to someone! Luckily, it was a big hug, smile and kiss from Della, followed by ”yes!” .
All in all a fantastic week! Howard and Della were great and really hard working as well as great to have around! Thank you Howard and Della! Also, thank you for all your generous donations and BA for giving the excess baggage allowance!
Medase pa paa pa!
