As we conclude in Ghana

Here we are at the Dzokotoes on our last day of their great hospitality - around 7 a.m.


Near to where we are standing this porker is getting noisy as he waits for his breakfast.


A  little goat was born this morning!  Someone put it under a small bench - probably to keep it safe.


A good start to the day.



We said good-bye to Moses, the house-help, who glides around quietly, cheerfully humming as he cleans and cooks. 



We took the taxi uptown on an assortment of errands.  One was a stop to see Hamza the tailor.  He had sewed an outfit for me and a shirt for Ken, from “anniversary” material we were given.  An African custom is to have special cloth “minted” for special occasions.  We were given cloth that celebrates the 50th anniversary of GILLBT.  Hamza remembers Jennifer and sent a hello to  her.  Here is how the outfit turned out. 

 

We stopped at the compound to say good-bye and met Gifty.  Here she is with her oldest daughter Neema.  She sent a gift for Jennifer and a message of love. 



Our last supper at the Dzokotoes was a special time.  Dianne had cooked up great meal!  We have really enjoyed the girls – Dzifa their daugther, as well as Shelby and Jayde, both from the US and volunteering at the school. 



 Then a family photo of the Dzokotoes - Dan, Di and Dzifa, the 3 D’s!
