   Becki and Bonsa are such close friends that people often mistake them for sisters. Becki and Bonsa live in Adukrom,a small village,in Ghana,an English-speaking West African country. Adukrom has no running water,electricity or television.

   At 6:45 am,Bonsa and Becki walk to school carrying chairs on their heads. The school has only desks. It also has no bus,so some children have to walk many miles to get there.

   Outside the school,a woman sells gravy rice. Most children buy the breakfast because their mothers have left their homes so early. A child walks around the playground ringing a bell to announce the start of classes,which begin at 7:15 am sharp. Like every student,Becki and Bonsa will ring the bell for a week. All the students know that being on time is important.

   Becki and Bonsa and the other students gather in rows,one class in each row,in front of a senior teacher. Any late students are sent into the nearby forest to gather firewood.

   After school,the girls wash their hands and use their fingers to eat out of a common bowl. The girls take their evening meal with their own mothers and aunts. The fathers eat with their male relatives at their fathers’ houses. Ashanti men and women do not eat together.

   When there is work to do after school,the girls do it first. Once their work is done,they are free to play. Sometimes they pick oranges,jump rope,dance,or play a board game.

   Jenny Gonzalez is excited to go to school these days. The 13-year-old from South Gate Middle School in Los Angeles,the US,is taking care of three green abalones (鲍鱼) at school.
