After playing every day after work this week, Hamza and I made the local team! The best part is that at first we did not even realize that there was a local team. Once we found out they had a team and that they were to have a match on Sunday (tomorrow), we knew we wanted to watch. We certainly did not think they would want us to play on the team with them. But sure enough, they asked us to join the squad at the end of yesterday's scrimmage. The guy told me, "Hello will you please play with us tomorrow. We saw your skill this week and we will like you to play. You will play first half and your brotha will play second half." (Be sure to read that in an African accent.)
So after the 4H meeting today, we'll be warming up for the soccer match! I'll be sure to tell you about all of my goals... ha... right. I will have to share about last week's 4H and this week's later today. Hamza and I spent the morning cleaning the house because we have guests coming later today. Two American ladies that are interning with a Ghanaian Christian organization are joining us this evening. Kris picked up his cousin yesterday from the airport and is coming with her later today as well. His cousin is a doctor that has worked in Afghanistan on medical missions for some years now and is taking a hiatus due to heightened violence in the area. We are excited to host all three women on the farm and gain their insight into ideas and issues associated with our friends in the local villages.
For now, I'll leave you with a taste of what Hamza and I focused on on the farm this past week:

ReplyDeleteTrevin, looking forward to more pics and posts of the local village, market, etc. Maybe an interview at some point with one of the locals or some of your students about what they think about farming as a future trade there (could be a long shot with the language barrier). I would also be very interested to learn about the goals/timeline/milestones for the current Africa Atlantic project--maybe as a separate doc or posting. Thanks buddy!
Delete...and more soccer match videos of course!
