What a day this has been! To get ready for our brass band performance in Sirigu, the nearby village, I had to wake up at the awful hour of 4 a.m. Because of the harsh light that descends on us during the day, we had to get up early. The excitement of the day kept me awake despite my struggles to open my eyes.
The programme had begun by the time we arrived in Sirigu. It took longer than I had anticipated to get there, and I was concerned that we would have lost our time to perform. Our brass band, on the other hand, started playing some amazing music as we rapidly collected ourselves. It was so satisfying to see everyone grin as they joyfully danced as you see the lady smiling.
The true fun began as the music continued. There were many various games, including sack races and tag of peace. I couldn't help but join in on the competition and laughter that were going on. The dancing competitions were one of the highlights, and I must say that I was astounded by the level of expertise on display.
The schedule seemed never-ending in the greatest way conceivable as the day gave way to night. When we finally came to an end, I was worn out but not without a sense of accomplishment. Following that, we relished some much-needed refreshments that lifted our spirits.
It took a while and was exhausting to travel back to Navrongo. We arrived extremely late, and I was more than ready to pass out in bed. I soon had a cooling shower, ate my dinner, and then indulged in a 40-minute television show, a very interesting documentary, to release some stress and give the food sometime to digest before I go to bed. After finishing my nightly prayers, I eventually fell into bed, appreciative of the great day we had and eager for future adventures.
Thank you all for reading my diary
