Sunday

Just been to a wonderful Palm Sunday service at the Osu Presbyterian Church. An uplifting sermon, and gospel praise from two terrific choirs and a congregation in celebratory spirit. The heat (33C) and early start (5.30am) have been a bit tough, so we're heading back to the hotel for some breakfast and a kip.

The rest of the day will be spent preparing for our visit tomorrow to Desmercy School, about two hours north-east of Accra. Gabriel, the Opportunity Int'l guy who liaises with the school, tells us that the school is busy with exams the week after we visit - even the three-year-olds! - but that we should be able to spend some time with some of the classes on Mon and Weds. On Tues we'll go to Samrit Academy, another nearby school that OI works with. At each place we'll plan material for an hour or so with the older pupils (11-15yrs) and separately with the middle crew (7-10) and the juniors (4-7), and some games to play outside in the break. Gabriel tells us that they will put on some dance and singing for us. Sounds fun!
