Last night, it was my first time that I have bath. I’ve never had such a bath before! We ran the bath and put the bubble mixture in it, and I asked myself what is this all about? When I lay down in it, it was strange, but I really liked it.
This morning at the hotel, we had an English fried breakfast. Sometimes I think these people should come to Ghana and we will teach them how to cook!
We visited the village of Haworth today and met Rita, the local Fairtrade campaigner, a very kind woman. We also met Esi, and from her accent we could tell she comes from Ghana, so that was exciting. I don’t think I could have lived there like her though – she was the only black person there. As far as I could see, there were no other black people.
We went to Haworth Primary School – it is a very small school with 230 students but they are all very intelligent. The head teacher is a very hard worker and they have lots of different groups. They have a really nice school garden where they grow food for their school lunch. We have a school garden in New Koforidua but we don’t deal with small vegetables, we deal with crops. We learn to plant agricultural crops like cassava, plantain and maize. We learn how they are geminated, how they are propagated and how they are harvested and how pests and disease can infect the crop.
We went to Rita’s shop, which is very fantastic. It was selling all kinds of Fairtrade products.
