Day 16 By Iain And Ollie

It was decided that we would all get up early have breakfast and work before going to Josephs twin sister’s ceremony at 10am. Everyone pushed to complete part of the playground because it was behind schedule. The shopping team had a long delay of 1 hour 30 minutes waiting for the bus. Definitely a case of GMT! (Ghana Maybe Time). Work progressed reasonably well before the team headed off to the celebration. The team was greeted with face paints before being shown their seats. Our very own twins, Polly and Hannah, sat with the local twins at the very front. Several of the team were invited to sit at front as well during the sacrifice of a sheep, much to the horror of some slightly more squeamish people. Dancing then ensued with everyone having a great time. Work then resumed after lunch at a slow pace after waiting around for more materials to arrive. A large frog was found in camp and it was decided that the best way to catch it was with a shoe. Iain’s were conveniently placed and became the item of choice. The frog was caught and to everyone’s amazement it urinated in the sole of his shoe. Iain returned several hours later from shopping to be informed of the incident, he was not best pleased. After dinner, our inspirational team leader Harry, briefed us on our jobs for the following day, which would include an awful lot of work! An early night followed in order to be ready for it.
