Grace took me to fetch water at the two wells in the village. The kids linger around the pump well, play, and help each other load water on their heads.



These little guys had fun posing for the camera. They laughed hard and seemed to really enjoy making faces.



This is a quick view of Meamago.

Pounding and selling Maize for breakfast in Mesomago. I met this woman on my walk through the village with Grace. There are about 600 people living in Mesomago.



This is Grace, caretaker of the guesthouse in Mesomago. Here is she is singing a wake up song, it is the first thing that I heard in the morning when I woke up.
Her son is in the video too, he was pretty excited about the camera.

Making a Boat and Beena Sings! Click the play button to watch

This is my friend Beena Magis. Here she is singing a song with little shells we just found on the beach. She is singing about women and their strengths.
Beena is a producer, presenter, programmer, and scheduler for Coastal Television. She Rocks!!

We passed these guys making a boat. They sell about 60 boats a year, for approximately $150.00



Pulling the net and Kids soccer game in the Elmina harbour.
This is Elmina Fishing village. It is about 30 minutes away from where we are staying in Cape Coast.
On Friday the boats went out to sea and the men put in a net to catch fish. In this short video clip you’ll see men pulling the net and you’ll see a little bit of a soccer game.
Nat filmed the soccer I filmed the net dragging.
Linda snaps still pictures like no one I have seen before. She has a great eye!



This is some of the Coastal Television staff -
Our friends love the “Supporting Community Television” T-shirts!!! They are psyched and it is really fun to see them wearing them and putting them to use!
