July 1 is a national holiday celebrating the day in 1960 when Ghana gained complete autonomy from the British empire. We had the day off, and a lot of students went to a soccer game, the President's Game between the Kotoko and Heart of Lions teams.
The rest of us had planned to go to some of the festivals being held, but a drenching rain changed our minds. We decided instead to go see a Ghanaian film at the local TV station. At TV-3, we found out that movies don't play until 6:00 p.m. In one of the studios, however, we found a dance party.
It was a group of schoolchildren who had taken a tour and were having a dance afterward. We joined the group and danced for nearly an hour. Even the six-year-olds were better dancers than any of us! Each of them wanted us to take pictures and dance with them. Eventually, they had to return to their school. But we talked to their teacher about visiting and possibly volunterring while we're here.
