After the depressing history of lesson we were on our way to a school that some of the kids went to that were on the waterpolo team. It was started by a Brit, then he went bankrupt and another guy took it over. There are 500 high school kids. It was a special day of contests and fun so they were dressed in all red, yellow, blue or green.
We had a quick tour, met the young female directors from England and Australia and some of the kids. The home ec department made us some Ghanaian food consisting of chicken, red rice, a salad and some yummy hot sauce.
The princess of Monaco sponsored the pool.since my son was a Lacrosse kid, I had never been to a water polo match. The kids, boys and girls practice a couple times a week after school. It was impressive to see how the kids actually listened and learned as the coaches taught them new things.
I can really see how this program will benefit so many kids. It seems that people in Ghana are ambitious and want to success. They just need a little help.
I tried to take some slo-mo pics to see the activity on the side of the road.
Everyone was talking about going to the Peace Tree after practice. I had no idea what that meant. It was the tree in front of a house of two of the students with a very friendly, and generous dad. He wanted to make farm to table food for us and have us try his Palm wine. The wine tasted a little like sake and was even better with some Guinness in it, really! After a long wait, because he wanted everything hot, we had fried plantains, fish and salsa.
Then the singing began!
