Adanwomase, Ghana

Any visit to the Ashanti region would not be complete without a stop at the kente village of Adanwomase. Jessie helped me carry a very heavy pack this long distance. Inside were 26 soccer uniforms and soccer balls for schools.



Our hosts Justice and Kofi helped sort the football uniforms the night before we distributed them to the schools.



At each school, it was a big event to have a stranger walk onto the school grounds. Excitement was in the air and the students were called to assembly. It would quickly erupt into pandemonium when the school team would appear wearing their new uniforms.



We gave a set of uniforms to two primary schools: the RC Primary school of Adanwomase and the SDA Primary school of Adanwomase.










Here is a video of the reaction at one of the schools when the team appeared wearing their new uniforms donated by the Montclair Soccer Club of California.













Not pictured, the Modern Star primary school received a few balls.



When departing, a child grabbed my hand and asked for a photo. I knelt down, and before the camera was focused, I was surrounded by dozens of joyous children.
