Day 19 - Sunday

For some this was a day of rest but for those who chose to work they went up to the site at 8.30am to do a few hours graft. There were a team of painters who subdivided down to attack the remaining classrooms with rollers, brushes and paint in order to put the finishing touches to the rooms. The screeders carried on working their way through the classrooms filling in the craters that existed with mortar and then cement power over the top to seal them. Finally there were the labourers who were assisting the local artisans working on the new building by carrying bricks, moving soil and levelling the rooms.

Great progress is being made on all fronts but sadly we won't get to see the finished article as time seems to of beaten us! However, by the end of tomorrow we will be up to roof level leaving the school with the relatively small task of applying the roof. Mr Abbott will be hooking the solar panel system up tomorrow which will provide power to charge the laptops and lightening in the classrooms.

One of the things that everyone thinks we should bring back to Stortford with us is the concept of random animals just wandering the high street. We are regularly spotting sheep, goats, chickens, dogs and the odd gecko darting across the walls!

In the afternoon half the group went to the next local village to watch a football match and present a couple of kits to the team. The kits were greatly appreciated and perhaps got the biggest cheer of the day.

We then had a walk through the fishing village which gave everyone a taste of a typical Ghanian fishing village. It is a picture postcard village which wowed the students as they walked down the hill.

Tonight sees the final quiz followed by the first Annual crab catching competition sponsored by Club!
