Good Bye, Ghana!

I think we'll come again.

But for now let's eat pizza and celebrate.

Vitamin R

Rice is really good for you. 

True, it's not readily available at every street corner, next to every street corner, in between, behind or underneath every street corner - but the nutritional benefits overshadow the struggle to find it every time. And we find it. And we cook it. And we eat it. 

And when we eat it, we eat it - 

We like rice with tomatoes and beans and onions and spices:

Or rice with chicken 

Rice with fried plantain and pepper sauce

Fried Rice with chicken in a bowl

Fried rice with chicken in a take away box

Fried rice with chicken on a purple plate

Fried rice and chicken on a white plate

Rice with goat stew and vegetables

Rice balls in stew

Plain rice in a ball

Plain rice in a pot

Plain rice with stew and egg

Fake rice (couscous)

Uncooked rice

Curry Rice with chicken

Yea, we had that twice

Mann&Hummel rice ;)

Coconut curry with white rice

Coconut curry with fried rice

Waakye (rice and beans) with Shito (pepper sauce) and Gari (cassava)

Jollof Rice and egg

Disclaimer: No rice was cooked or ordered simply for the purpose of posting it in this post ;) 

An Invitation

I had the honour of attending the Vision School´s end of the school year celebration. All the kids were gathered in the schoolyard listening to live music and dancing and singing

Victoria´s daughter Sika with Robert, one of the teacher´s babies

Fun on the Ghana slide

Little Man

The live music, courtesy of Mr. Benjamin and Mr. David - two of the teachers at the school

She´ll be a model 

Her shoes sparkled

Then I spent a couple hours dancing with the kids and taking pictures

This is Madam Trinity (Robert´s mama) 

They´re best friends

This is Esther

Sika with Robert

Ladykiller

Then we took a short lunch-break

Victoria!

The school´s new principal, Mr. Kasante

Robert got hungry too...but we couldn´t find his mama so Sika and I tried to entertain him to avoid tears

He didn´t like it

After lunch (and after we found Madam Trinity) we sang some songs

Then Victoria and the teachers got together with Mr. Kasante

And called me forward 

To thank me and give me this sash (!)

Best day

Victoria and me with some of the kids from the Grade 1 class

I could have stayed forever
