Reagga Jam week

This week started with a trip to the waterfalls up north in the contry. Wake up at 3 o’clock in the morning, metting the group at 4 o’clock, arriving at the site at 9h00. Canadian members were just as amazed as the Ghaneans when we finally got in front of the highest waterfalls in West Africa! And as a welcoming team, there were at least 457 000 bats surronding the falls!!!

On the way back home, four of us deceided to stay an overnight at the monkey sanctuary. The travelling book says that it is really common to see Mona Monkeys… We know why now! The visitors can feed them with bananas really early in the morning. Being a monkey, I would be the first one around for this delicious meal!!!! By the time half were exited about the monkeys, the other half of the group was giving a workshop in a church where they even did a condom demonstration… We cannot even do that in schools usually… Hummmm, don’t try to understand why!

Back to work… we had to organize a reagga jam party this week. How are we supposed to follow the schedule… we are in Africa? We cannot do the posters because we don’t know who will be the DJ. WE book the DJ, we do the posters, but then the DJ is not available anymore. Oh well, we advertize with misinformation… It doesn’t seem to be a big problem here!!! The problem was mostly coming from the fact that we live in a small village in Africa and what it takes 1 day in Canada to do takes at least 1 week here.. And we only have a few days left to find a generator, tents, speakers, advertisement, etc. Ouffff

Are we going to have this party on time?
