Asunafo. I love this village. We weren't in Asunafo for very long but for some reason this little place got to me. It was remote, and I think the two cars that we had were pretty much the only ones in the village at the time I can definitely see myself coming back and living here.
The road to Asunafo.
I still don't really understand this...First there was a sign saying there was a church but there were only trees around for miles. Then, literally in the middle of nowhere, is this church. Ghana is filled with churches--in the villages, but this church is just on this remote road among all the trees. I have to be missing something...
World Joy school!
World Joy Clinic.
This nurse runs the clinic. No Drs.
Ike, Stephen Abu, and the Asunafo nurse
Clinic waiting room
The chart room. Maybe we should incorporate this method at Hope Clinic
Tim and Kassie inspecting the cacoa.
A typical store.
Dr. Thueson, Danette, and Kellie discussing quantum physics.

I love how before it turns into Hershey's kisses, it just sits out on the side of a road in a village in Africa with the chickens and goats. It makes me love chocolate even more. Life is good.
In Ghana if you wave your hand from side to side, it means hello. If you wave your hand up and down, it means come here. I didn't realize how often I (or other people) wave up and down. But every time we did, the person we thought we were waving to, would come up to us. This little boy was so obedient... (but lacking on the stranger danger education a bit...) ;) a random white woman told him to come to her (she thought she was just waving) and just stood still and talked to her. It was adorable.
All the books for children
The top row is adult books (The Other Side of the Mountain, Harry Potter, and a dictionary being the top choices). The middle shelf contains Young Adult material, and the third shelf, reference materials.
Who wears sunglasses inside? I love that Dr. Hughes is taking a quick reading break.
Beautiful Asunafo
Ahhh the smell of sun baked cocoa nuts! I need a clothespin! Can't drink chocolate milk still!
