Remember to Remember to Never forget

This post is written selfishly.  I know how easy it is to forget one place when you leave to another and although I know my memories of Abura Dunkwa will fade as I am confronted with the new life ahead of me, there are some friendly faces I simply never want to forget, even if that means posting pictures of them on a blog. 

 
Sam Paintsil, the school electrician but also a great support to me during my time here. He kept me stocked with Palm Oil, Plantain Bunches, and always did it with a smile.

Yaw is the owner/operator of Abura Dunkwa's biggest supermarket. He was always excited to see me and explain anything about which I was confused.

My trusty smoked fish seller. I bought those delicious fish from her at least twice a week and she was always helpful in trying to teach me Fante.

Two of my neighbors who always greeted me with warmth and smiles.  They took the time to speak Fante slowly to me helping me learn more than I could have learned on my own.

Best Egg Sandwich Man on Earth! I also bought bread and delicious peanut butter from him regularly too.
Roasted Corn for an afternoon snack. This lady was always a hoot.
There are a few people in Abura Dunkwa who have helped me and asked nothing in return.
