In the bus

On the 8th of July, 2021, we the Knights and Ladies Sir James Marshalls made a trip from Ghnan to Burkina Faso to support one of our brothers who was to be ordained as a priest of the Roman Catholic, in a town known as Manga. Manga is one of the regional capitals in the Burkina Faso.
We left Ghana at exactly 3:05pm and got to the border at Paga at 4:10pm. When we got to the border, we went to the check point to go through some inspections and also to go through covid-19 temperature test.

After the currency exchange, we then got back into our bus and left the border at exactly 6:14pm and set of for the journey.
We arrived at Manga at exactly 10:20pm, after offloading our luggages from the bus, they directed us to our various rooms where we kept the bags, and prepared for supper even though it was late.

We got there at 8:00am and by 8:30am, we were done taking our breakfast and went on parade to process in for the program to commence.
