When Muslims bow down during prayer, their faces are wet from either sweating or from the washing before prayers. They then touch their foreheads to the ground in front of them. Therefor, the sand on the foreheads means someone has just been doing prayers. |

Hi Jordan and Sarah - I was happy to read the article in the Aberdeen American News about your service in Ghana. I am from Aberdeen (CHS 1990) and work as the Director of Programming and Training for Peace Corps Botswana. Thanks for working on goal three and talking to so many groups while you're back home! I hope you've inspired some PCVs-to-be. And thanks for your service in general - you're surely an inspiration to many people. Best, Heather Robinson
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, thanks so much for the comment. Its great to hear you read the article. It was a blast to go home and present at my old schools. I was a graduate in 2003 so I saw many of my old teachers at the Middle and elementary schools. I hope all is well in Botswana, and thanks for connecting with us!
