Graduation and Speeches... on my Birthday!

As luck would have it, my birthday fell on the same day as the Graduation and Speech Giving ceremony for the school. It was a big show of culture, traditional dance and drumming, speeches from elders and myself (I don't exactly classify myself as an elder yet), and a ceremony to honour the graduates who are moving on. We were all dressed up in kente and given Ghanaian names, mine being Angmorkie (at best seldom comprehensible when I try to pronounce it). Everyone was really excited that day, and we ate really good food!
