Students' Day

Beautiful Milli.

Last Sunday was one of my favorite days spent here in Ghana. We all woke up early and got dressed up and headed to Saviefe Deme to the school where Vanessa and I teach. It was wonderful to show all the other volunteers the amazing village where Vanessa and I spend so much of our time, and we got to introduce them to all our Ghanaian friends and students. When we arrived at the school for Students' Day (basically a giant fundraiser for the school), we were given special seats with the togbes (chiefs), which was very cool. Then we got to watch all the kids do their performances which was way cool because they were all dressed up in traditional African clothing which was absolutely gorgeous. A very nice change of pace from their usual uniforms. I took so many photos and videos, and I can't wait to show them off to everyone when I get home. I felt like a proud

Mom watching all the kids getting up and singing and dancing in front of the whole village. I made a point to get photos of each student in class 6 (the class that I teach). At several points, the villagers invited Vanessa and I (and the other volunteers, too!) to get up and dance with them all. We happily obliged. It was such a joyous day and I was so happy to see the whole village being so invested in their students and the new school. Saviefe Deme is without a doubt one of the best communities I've ever had the pleasure to get to know.
