A Little from our Training

We visited a women's shea processing group in the Upper east. This is some women crushing the boiled and dried nuts. They sang and danced the whole time they were working. They were truely amazing. We have some video we hope to upload when we get a faster connection.

This is the Sirigu pottery center. It was started to raise money for school fees for local girls. They offer art classes to generate extra money.


Here is some of the pottery. They sell these pots for less than 5 US dollars. Most of the crafts people do here they drastically undersell because they do not factor in labor or time.

Here is Jennifer sitting on her very first crocodile in Paga!
So most villages have a totem animal they believe is sacred. In Paga it is the crocadile so they do not kill them. It is considered a great luck if a croc gets one of your goats or chickens.

Scot was a little less afraid to sit on it. Who says you should never smile at a crocadile!
