We are currently in a city called Kumasi. We traveled 4 ½ hours to get here yesterday. Before arriving in the city we stopped in a village called Patrinsa to implement a library project. Here we were welcomed in an official ceremony by the queen mother and chief of the village. Afterwards we walked to the “library,” which basically was a room with empty shelves. During the spring semester books were collected to help fill the library. We brought 500 books with us to fill the shelves. Putting the books onto the shelves was an amazing feeling. The children were smiling and clapping for us.
Today we visited a kente weaving shop, an adinkra symbol market, and the Kumasi palace. It was a busy day but we got to unwind for about 2 hours at the awesome pool at our hotel.
Until my next adventure
