“We are here to build business and love handles.” –Stephen Abu Junior
And boy is this true! When meals are made here, there are massive pots set in front of us and the four of us don’t even have a prayer of finishing it. While we aren’t forced to eat a lot, just having so much food in front of us is an inadvertent way of telling us to keep eating and make sure it’s all gone when the pot is picked up. Good thing for us, the food has been wonderful so far. But after only two days it’s a little hard to go wrong, and luckily it’s all very low in fat
Can you find the two "obroni"s? They don't stick out at all :)
And while the boys were working hard playing soccer, Emily and I were fighting off the masses of boys who are still too young to play with the older, more skilled boys. So everyday they come to the soccer field and watch the older boys play. They were really funny, constantly looking for our singled-out attention by doing whatever they had to to make us look. The only hard thing is that they always speak in their native tongue, Twi (pronouced tree), and speak only a little English. That was a surprise to us!
