A typical day in the classroom...but a solemn night for Ghana

Sad News for Ghana

During the taxi ride back to the school we heard on the radio the terrible news that Ghana's president John Atta Mills died. It was a solemn mood at the school when we returned. The staff was watching the television when we got back. They watched as the vice-president was sworn in as the new president of Ghana.  

Our Next Adventure

We have 6 days until we leave so I feel rushed to get in a few of the attractions.  The plan is to work in the classroom until Thursday and head to Wli Falls on Friday.  Wli is in the Volta Region.  It is beautiful in that area. Jared and I will take this trip without Rebecca. She wants to stay back at the school and go to church with Emmanuel and the children. 

Right after class yesterday we went to the Accra Mall to get the weekly pizza special (Tuesday buy 1 get 1 free). We also bought fresh fruit.
