Here is the "summer hut" at the Upland Hotel in Wa. This is where we ate breakfast and dinner each day. There is an inside restaurant, but why go there when you can enjoy the outside warm weather?

We are in Sunyani, currently staying at the Regent Resorts Hotel. We'll be moving tomorrow morning to the Eusbett Hotel in town. It has more facilities and proximity to town than the place we are in now.

We are all still well and looking forward to starting our last week in Ghana. This will be the third time for doing most things so we should be very practiced and efficient now. We will be getting rid of things as we finish each lesson - no more saving materials for the next time. We are all trying to lighten our load before we leave.

Wa finished with a wonderful Ghana night. Some incredible music, drumming and dancing! We had a great time. We still have one of those nights to look forward to and of course another Canada night. You should see us line dance! The people here loved it.

It has been a very successful trip so far. Both feedback reports from Tamale and Wa have been overwhelmingly positive. We hope we can keep it up for one more week. This is our third chance to make another first impression! Time has gone quickly, but it also seems like a long time ago since we were home. This does feel very far away. We are looking forward to getting back home.

Happy Birthday, Debbie!

Best wishes from your family, friends and team teachers

Have a fabulous day!

This is a picture of a very common sight in Ghana - excluding the white guy. It is a large termite hill and Stan is giving us the perspective. This was taken in Mole National Park but we see them along the roadways everywhere.

We are almost finished our time in Wa. We are leaving for Sunyani on Saturday morning and should arrive sometime in the late afternoon. Then begins our last leg of this amazing adventure. Hard to believe that we're nearly on the home stretch already!

This is our dear friend Prisca Claire Ninwienah. She has been teaching at the Teacher Training College in Wa for 10 years (Math), as well as serving as assessment officer. She is the longest serving member of Ghana's Project Overseas Team, this being her 10th summer. This picture is taken in the yard of her house on the college campus.

This is the last night of our teaching in Tamale. The participants treated us to "Ghana Night", where we enjoyed drumming, dancing, food and drink. We are decked out in our new outfits that were gifts from the grateful teachers.

This is most of the class of adminstrators at the basic level. I am wearing the handwoven smock they presented me with on the last day of classes.
