I can't believe it!!! Tomorrow will mark two weeks in the Volta Region, Ho, Ghana with Children Inspiring Hope- working on exchange projects with the kids in the schools here!  Today was our last day in the classroom and tomorrow afternoon we head back to Accra.  I feel like I've just really scratched the surface of experiencing Ghana and it's people. . .leaving feels a little premature in some ways and there is part of me that is sad.  The time here has been very full and has passed too quickly.  These past two few days I have really consciously been just taking it ALL in as much as I can.  I have enjoyed the kids even more and they have made me laugh so hard a few times with their antics.  Here are just a few more pictures of me at school.  Enjoy!

I am helping with spelling. . . although English is the official language it is the kids second language.  The main native language in this area is Ewe.

I am videotaping the kids singing an Ewe song for the kids in the US.  There were several classes that sang for us- one of my favorite experiences was with the second grade.  They sang for almost 10 minutes in a row, super enthusiastically with movements that sometimes had them throwing themselves on the floor to their delight and mine!!  I really wanted to stop videotaping and join them!!

This is one powerhouse of a headmistress, Angelica!!! She does an amazing job and WOW what a charismatic leader!  She invited us to her home town just outside Ho this past Sunday for church which lasted 4 hours (this is typical for Ghana!).  She had us up on the stand with her in front of a congregation of at least 300. . lots of singing and dancing of course!  And then she fed us at her home.  She has been an amazing host to our program in her school as well.
