Quote of the day:

Work, thank God, for the swing of it, for the clamoring, hammering ring of it.

By: Arla Lewis

Breakfast was fun with the addition of Esther’s boys. We discussed the final day and were eager to arrive at school. The students were in the classroom sweeping and getting ready for a Friday of games. They were not enthusiastic about finishing assignments but they did complete some work. The students thanked us for volunteering with the school program. After lunch we went to the library and had a huge crowd for reading. It was rewarding to have so many children eager to read. They also told us thanks for helping volunteer.

After library we walked to the Volta River and saw the fish farms, an old church, and the beautiful river. We met our teachers at 7 and enjoyed a dinner with them while giving gifts for teachers and educational programs. Photographs and addresses were exchanged and so we know we will not forget this memorable experience.
