finally some photos...lots of big happy smiles :)

So, another eventful day - we visited one of the projects funded by NAWA called JayNii Streetwise, which is headed by Jay and Nii with their cultural dance troop and drum band. They raise money by performing at festivals which they then use to do workshops on their beach (which theyve fixed up nicely!) with school kids, like the one i had the privilege to join today...

I also was recommended by trish the bead lady to visit eric boateng and his kente cloth in a small shop called Safari in the national culture centre - which is basically a big marketplace where you can find every kind of artifact associated with ghanaian arts and craft...he had the most amazing pieces, which he told us the names and the history of - and even showed me how to drape the cloth to wear it...

lots of fabric!
