Ghana - Asufutufiam Festival

In Big Ada every year, the people from this region come together to celebrate their historical victories in war and honour those who have died. At this festival, there were big parades of people carrying their chiefs, re-enacting the battles and ending up at the river where they cleansed themselves of the years deeds and made wishes for the new year. I stood in the water, made a wish and washed my face with my hands. Tracy, on the other hand, was splashed silly but an old lady. I wish I was splashed, too!
