Day 3 – Sunday 2/4/17
Today has been brilliant. We woke up at 5am to the sound of the radio broadcasted on the town loudspeaker, followed by the noisy drumming from the catholic church. Next, we ate breakfast prepared by cooking team; pancakes and fruit. The first activity of the day was our welcome ceremony, where we met Dwabor’s village elders in their palace, followed by a trip to one of Dwabor’s many churches.Alex and Samuel even went on a taxi journey to a neighbouring village to attend one of their church ceremonies. After we came back for our lunch – salad and yam chips, we paired up with our biddies and started a ‘scavenger hunt’. Mrs Warnock and other members of staff gave us a total of 20 challenges such as catching a chicken and fetching water from the well. This activity was great fun but positively exhausting. We spent the rest of our evening relaxing with our buddies and tucking into a plate of ‘Red Red’ a delicious Ghanaian meal consisting of plantain and palm oil. We hope all is well back in the UK, and we look forward to seeing you all when we get back.

Soooo lovely to ‘hear’ your voice and your enthusiasm! Missing you loads but very happy to hear you are enjoying yourselves! Church service? Grandpa will be proud! Take care all of you. Did you catch a chicken? Big hugs xxx
A wonderful update Samuel, thank you very much. I didn’t think “5 am “and “brilliant” would ever go together but it must be very special. Keep making fabulous memories, all of you.Lots of love to Henry X
What a day, thanks for updating us Samuel – it’s great to hear you are having a ‘brilliant’ trip. i love it that you were woken by noisy drumming but please tell Harry that is not to happen when he is home with the drum’s you’ve bought!
Take care and sending you all our love xxx
