Maa, Me & Al-haji


I hope I spelled his name right.... this is Al-haji, our tailor. He is a nice Muslim guy who stays in "Zongo" in Effiduase. He did the dresses Maa and I are wearing. He does good work, he just doesn't speak too much English. Zongo is the name they give an area in a village/town that is predominately a Muslim community/neighborhood. Most bigger towns have a zongo area. So... no matter where you go, the Zongo area will always be full of Muslims -mostly people from the Northern region of Ghana are Muslim. Just an FYI. :)

  1. Maybe too personal of a question... but do you where little shorts under those dresses? Or do your thighs just get all sweaty on really hot days? hahahaha. Maybe you have to answer this when you get home! :)

  2. Maa looks real nice there as do you too! Is the fabrics you have for these dresses really nice for a Ghanaian dress? I can't wait to see what you have made for me!!
    Love,MOM
