Kayleen Travels

This past weekend I joined my friend, Nanayaa, and her husband, Obed, on a trip to the Eastern region where we helped put on a program for SOS Children's Village in Asiakwa.  This was our ride- much nicer than a tro-tro! The orphanage was the nicest I have seen so far in Ghana. Nanayaa and I spent some hours visiting with the children. Here are pictures of us with some of them- Mama Dee and the quadruplets! Part of the program was cooking dinner for the children- My dinner, boiled yam with kotombre stew and egg and fish- After dinner was the show, complete with dance performances, dance competitions (these kids can dance!) and a performance by an Afro-rap Gospel group called Preachers. Here are a few pics from the program- The No Juju dance- Here I am with Mama Dee, who I adored. She had so much personality and so much energy, I couldn't get enough of her! ...
