Kente Weaving



Time to do some (hand)work. We visit Adanwomase, a community based tourism project. After seeing and learning how a Kente Cloth is made, I have a go. It’s very good I do not have to earn my living weaving; I am not a natural talent! My hand, feet and the head get totally confused, and this is just a plain weaving with one color only!
The final products

 We spend the night in a guest house in Nkoranza, It is quite tricky to find the location of the guesthouse. Our guide Patrick asks some five locals and gets five different directions, so he calls up his office to get the phone number and call them directly. It is in the hospital complex, past the mortuary, down the hill – the guesthouse helps support the orphanage for handicapped children. We stay in a lovely bungalow with open air shower.

More to come,

Cynthia
