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.

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!
