Diana leads the march
Marching in the playground - click on the picture to see the video
"My name is Diana and I’m 13 years old. This is my school. It is called Jorru primary. It is in Accra, the capital of Ghana.

We start each day with a school assembly. We stand in the playground where we have the flag of Ghana. Today we are practising a special song. It is called ‘Arise Ghana youth for your country’. We march while we sing the song. Some of the boys play the drums. We have to keep time when we march and be very smart. I like to march.

This is a good school. Our teachers help us and we like to work hard for them."
