i'm listening to xmas music on my powerbk sitting in the decker's kitchen, enjoying the cleanliness and central heating. WOW to think that just a few days ago i was rinsing dishes out of a bucket while wearing shower sandals on the soot covered floor and trying not to lean on the cockroach/ant infested counters. some things i don't mind leaving, but it's sad to think that our six months is up. before we left, we tried to spend quality time with the students and vera. they were the best part and it's awkward to think that i won't see them everyday from now on. kind of hard to sum up things. pics do a better job...
AHH RECESS
glass molds of ghana
me and linda squared. two of the sweetest students. the one on the left can get DOWN. she has more rhythm than will ever dream of having. the one on the right is tall and quiet, a total mother figure to the rest of JSS3 (9th grade)
KG (kindergarten) girls
sarafina
baby girl we made friends with on tro
another cute little bugger
ernestina. she is a 20 year old in 8th grade. her parents kind of abandoned her when she was little. her grandmother took care of her but then passed away when she was in 3rd grade. then her aunties took her in but they couldn't or wouldn't pay school fees so she didn't go to school for several years. finally akuffo tom's owner mr. boafo decided to give her a scholarship. she is such a vibrant strong girl and wants to become a policewoman one day.
EUGENE! at the end of a letter he wrote to me before we left, he signed "your son, Eugene" i miss you buddy!
vera sporting my cap... it was "cold" that day.
this is her with liz's straw hat. oh vera!

Hі, I'm a writer based out of Sch�ngeising, Germany and I found your site via http://www.janeinafrica.blogspot.com/. Would you have any points for those considering blogging? I'm planning to
start my own site soοn but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you recommend beginning with a free platform like Dotclear or go for a paid choice? I'm facing quite а feω options and it's all so overwhelming... Any tips?
