DRUM HUNT DRUM HUNT Last night we heard the sound of drums......we had to follow. Wandering through the jungle we came to a small hut where a group of 4 men, and old woman and a small girl were playing and singing. We asked them what they were doing and they told us that they were The Church of African Faith and they were worshiping. We sat among them and listened, some even danced. Before we left we asked if it would be ok to pray with them so we joined hands in a circle and prayed. A group of Christians from two different worlds united in one common bond, Jesus Christ.
This is the job-site at the end of day 3. The walls have the majority of their blocks placed forming the classrooms, bathrooms and storage closet.
We were praying for the rain to come to us and give us some relief from the heat......but it always seems to just miss us, just like Georgetown.
Today we worked until noon and then attended "sports day" in Asamenkese where the various schools compete against one another in an annual competition. They participated in javelin, shot put, discuss and netball a.k.a. basketball. We watched a few football matches....uhh, i mean soccer. The sheer joy after a victory was overwhelming causing near riot conditions.
There is a small mountain where some of the locals live just behind the job-site. Tuesday after work our foreman and another worker (evos) took us up the hill and we came through a village where all they had were mud huts and a few benches. Here are a few of the children.
