Church and Beach!

Sunday in Sierra Leone means church and beach!

Our route to school passed through villages where everyone was dressed for church! Beautiful hats, dresses and suits! Marching bands too! Mr Power went to church at St Raphael's and Miss Smith accompanied Mrs Doherty, head of Hope Prep to St Barnabas Church. Our welcome was again significant and heartfelt. We were greeted by the congregations and made to feel very welcome !

We then went Mrs Doherty's house too met her friend and enjoy a lovely lunch of plantain, rice and fish - and a very welcome cold drink!

After this we went to another welcome party! To be greeted by education ministers and local community leaders.

We of course had to see the beaches - which are beautiful! So we got in the jeep with our Friends to York Beach.

Tomorrow is our last full day in school an we will begin to say our farewells to pupils and staff. It will be a sad day!

Mr Power and Miss Smith
