Yes - I came up with the title all by myself.
The new geography lab was inaugurated yesterday. I'll try and upload some pics later today (such a hassle uploading pics with this crappy internet). The kids were every excited! We brought our class over and got them to find a whole list of countries and cities and write down their latitude and longitude. They loved it! They loved finding the cities where their favourite football teams are from - Barcelona, Madrid, Manchester etc... Ryan has done a great service to this community.
Today we are hoping to use the globe to show them why we have day and night and that the world is actually round. It should be fun!
This saturday I'm leaving for Togo and Benin for 1 week. I'm quite excited about Benin - it being the source of voodoo. Voodoo (or fetish or juju - as they call it here) is quite big in the village here as well and Awo was telling all these crazy things she has witnessed with her own eyes. She promised to take me next time there is a ceremony though Bianca was freaked out after the last and doesn't want to go again - I'm very excited to see what has all these well educated people convinced. Awo, Nana Yaw and even Bianca believe in it even if they don't follow it. There is a big voodoo temple at the top of the hill behind the village as well which Awo promised to take me to one weekend.
