My delicious cake
In other news, Yesterday Sara and I followed the team to three fishing communities in the area: Shama, New Takoradi, and Azueri. At each community a crowd was gathered to watch the chief fishermen make oaths to stop all illegal fishing practices. They gathered on the beach and poured a bottle of white wine onto the sand while making their vows- a traditional technique of making oaths. Friends of the Nation organized the event and took photos and interviews, while a local priestess brought some traditional religious aspects to the ceremony, acknowledging the presence of a sea god. It was cool to see a combination of NGOs, traditional chieftaincy, current governance, religious leaders, and local people all contributing to one goal. Until next time, Caro |
