Christmas come early

After days of painting, Matt and I finally finished our masterpiece that will hereby be known as the TACCO Toy Box. It's bright red with the Ghana flag on top and has a big smiley sun wearing sun glasses.

We filled it up with toys and took it over to the creche. The children were extremely excited but mainly used the toy box as a drum.

In the afternoon, after their lunch, we broke open the toys. They were a bit bemused at first but soon trucks were being rammed into other children's legs, arms were pulled off dolls and they were indulging in all the normal things that three year olds do when presented with anything.


In a huge display of self-sacrifice, we gave up our weekend and headed to Lake Bosomtwe to put up some publicity posters for the disabled training centre. It's beautiful and we had a relaxing weekend surrounded by mountainous greenery and a shimmering lake. Let's not mention the posh hotel on the waterfront with air conditioning, satellite TV and hot running water. Well, it was only 12 pounds a night so it would have been rude not to really!
