Adinkra Cloth Designs
Along the West Coast of Africa the Ashanti and Gyaman people of Ghana make a type of cloth called Adinkra cloth. The stamp designs used for Adinkra cloth have different meanings related to the environment, the proverbs used by the Ashanti, and historic people of their culture. Here, student choose symbols to represent themselves.

I chose the Adinkra here because I would like to have magnanimity and I have a greatness in reading. I chose the wooden comb as my design because I have patience in school. I try to do my work with prudence and I can get fond of people and my surroundings.

I chose Donno Ntouso. Donno Ntouso is the "Double Drum." This stands for alertness. I feel at school, I am alert. I chose Jkadee Mmamere. It means unity and strength. I feel that I am strong at school because the teachers make me feel strong.

This cloth represents me in school, because the Eban symbol or fence is about safety and security. I like to think I am safe and secure at school. Also, I chose the Wawa Aba seed of the Wawa tree, which means strength. Not only physical strength, but mentally and spiritually.

I used the cross because I have a strong belief in God. The knife was extra.

I chose these two designs because I like them and the reasons it matched the things I do at ACSA. The right hand design means greatness. I picked the design because I am great here at school. The left hand design was Sep "it was an executioners knife." I chose it because I wish to be a leader sometime instead of the big kids being the leader.

The reason I chose two symbols meaning the same thing is because they represent two different hopes. The first design, Eban, I made because I like to feel safe and secure at school. The other one, because I want to be one who provides safety and security, when I become older.
