The Addyeboat Video

Finally, my 4-pin to 4-pin Firewire cable arrived and I was able to upload the long-awaited Addyeboat video! Enjoy.



In this video, Addyeboat, a respected (but always tipsy) farmer in the Asaam village of Ghana's Ashanti Region, shares his knowledge of basket weaving (traditionally only done by men) with Claire for her mini Independent Study Project. Simón is there to interpret, and Jessie and I pop in to see how things are going. Addyeboat ambitiously informs us that he will complete two baskets that day! Including the two he has already begun. You just wait!
