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.
