Last Week of School


This past week was the last one for the term before a three week break for the holidays. I was able to get one last math exam in on Tuesday. I can’t even tell you how much the kids were thrilled about that.

The issues between the government and the teachers resulted in some schools skipping a celebration. We decided to have a Christmas party for the kids. This required some planning and preparation of course.

The setting area is ready

Getting a little phonics in before the program.  They asked, I didn't push it.

Making up the bags

And making ice cream.
We had the party on Wednesday. Each class had a song, skit, or dance. And I was surprised to find out the teachers also had a song to sign. I can’t even tell you how much I was thrilled about that.

Get to your seats!

Not sure why the white man needs to do a tongue check. 

But I guess he does.

Yep, your tongue is there.

Children watch you teacher for the actions, not Mr. John with the camera.

Christmas...

My class ready for their song.

Our dancers. 

I'm not sure uncontrollable laughter was part of the choreographs 
We passed out report cards on Thursday. The teachers had some social time and some work time on Thursday and Friday.

I would like to say that we will be moving into the new school at the start of next term given that it was scheduled to be completed last June. However, I can see that they have put up plastic around the stairs to finish something.  On Friday the principal was not positive that the school would be ready when we return.

And if it is turned over we will need to take the first week of school to do the move. So it will be crazy either if we move or if we stay.

It will be a nice school when it is done.
I have some plans coming up in the next few weeks that might delay my posts. My apologies for pulling my previous post. However, while I thought I could go ahead with it I needed to give the volunteer a little more time to spread the news.

Finally, some guys just up road killed a pig for Christmas, so I got some meat yesterday.

Yes, but is it fresh?


Love always,
John

Yam harvesting

Image
Roger and I went to farm to harvest yam on Saturday morning, September 13, 2014.  In Ghana a yam is a root crop that is different from a sweet potato.  We have sweet potatoes here as well. Yam recently harvested Preparing a yam for boiling The yam has a white flesh – softer than a white potato. In this area the yams are planted between April and June.  Harvest continues into December and January depending on the weather and pigs getting into the field. The plant is a vine – which is grown on stakes rather than allowed the spread out.  The plants are placed on a raised bed about 2 feet high.  The beds are surrounded by flat trenches.  This allows the rains to flow around, but not wipe out the yam crop.  Intercropping seems to be common practice with yams planted in the raised bed, soybeans around the edges, and rice in the trenches.  The occasional corn or okra plant is also among the yams – although the bulk of those crops are in other fields.   Row of ya

Pito – brewed millet

Image
Corn, rice, and millet are the common grains grown in my region of Ghana. All three are used food, but millet is also used to produce the local brew – pito, or daa in the local language. “N nyu daa” - in Dagaree means “I drink pito.” There are several varieties of millet grown here – a red and white varieties have loose heads. These are used for pito and other foods. There is also a smaller seed variety with a tight head of seeds that is mainly used for porridge. (Don't have a picture of that variety yet.) In all varieties millet grows on a stalk with the grain head at the top of the stalk. White and red millet in the field Two bundles of while millet to be used for seed next season Converting a grain to alcohol is a common practice in various cultures. It provides a way to capture and digest the nutritional value of the grain. In some places, like Germany and the beer brewing monks, the making a beer was a way to preserve the harvest. In Ghana the millet is

Cultural Competition - Upper West Region

Image
Note: I'm at an in-service training in Accra – so I don't have much time for this post. However, we did have a pretty interesting event in town this week – told mainly through pictures this time. The school districts in the Upper West Region come together for a cultural display on competition. This year it was held in Nandom. Students, young and old came to compete. It was all very interesting.  Tradition dance competitions were between older students mainly. The dances in the sun lasted about 10 minutes each - very hot - but the dancers kept going. There was also poetry recitals.  Some were in English and some in the local language (Not necessarily Dagaree) Some dances were traditional story telling dances. It did not go well for the antelope. There were also plays in English and the local language - some of the younger students participated The theme for the competition was Peace, Unity, and Hard Work leads to Development for Ghana The
