Description:		Charity describes how to get from the Junior Secondary School (were the speech event takes place) to the house where she lives. This was part of a session with three students of the Junior Secondary School.
		The Avatime project aims to describe and document Avatime. The researchers involved in this project are Rebecca Defina and Saskia van Putten. The project included fieldwork in Ghana in 2008 and was completed in 2009. Outcomes of the project are: (1) audio and video recordings of different genres, of which 13,5 hours have been transcribed and annotated, (2) an Avatime-English wordlist, (3) grammar notes and (4) two Master's theses, one on the expression of motion in Avatime (Saskia van Putten) and one on aspect and mood in Avatime (Rebecca Defina).
		Saskia asked Elvis to ask Charity how to get to her house. Ernest translated what she said. Then Saskia asked Elvis to ask Ernest the same question. Elvis translated afterwards. Then Elvis gave instructions how to get to his house and Ernest translated. This was the end of a session in which I first got some body part terms, then we went through some elicitation videos and then the children interviewed each other about several things. This recording only contains the directions to Charity's house, from the place where we were located, which was the Junior Secondary School.
		Charity gives directions to her house in Avatime.
		Charity describes the route to her house. Also present are Elvis, Ernest and Saskia. It has been transcribed, translated and annotated in ELAN by Fo Yao and Saskia.
		Charity is a student at the Junior Secondary School in Vane. She was born in Vane and grew up there.
		Saskia van Putten is one of the researchers in this project. She did her bachelor in Languages and Cultures of Africa and her research master in Linguistics, both at Leiden University. She started PhD studies at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in 2009. Saskia grew up and still lives in the Netherlands.
		Fo Yao was one of our main consultants. He helped us transcribe and translate texts, gave us information about cultural practices and helped us in many long elicitation sessions. He was born in Vane and worked as a teacher before he retired. Sadly, he passed away in October 2009.
		The recording was made using a Marantz PMD flash recorder. The recording is mono, 16 bit and 48 kHz.
		ELAN file was created by Saskia, transcription and translation done by Fo Yao and Saskia.
		This toolbox file was created from the ELAN file in which the recording was originally annotated.
		This story was cut out from S0810031.
