The Darkuman School, Accra, March 25


I visited the Darkuman school one more time before leaving Accra, and got to dance and play music with the kids. That day, they were not singing with enough passion, so the teachers stopped the prayer and lectured them pretty heavily, threatening them with the stick! (corporel punishment is still used in the schools!). I spoke with Fiona, the young teacher from Whales about the possibility of coming back to Ghana in the near future, and getting $ sponsorship for a children project. She was very receptive. Maybe we could get Casper, the other teacher from England and our beloved Morgan and Chas from Atlanta, to join us on such an endeavor (see slide show of school visit)
