Interesting Visitors and Resident Dust

The daughter-in-law of our friends, Bill and Patricia, who are physicians here in Tamale, was here for a visit last week and lectured on psychiatry at both the medical school and at the hospital's weekly conference. Erin practices in Great Britain and provided students and staff with an interesting and informative discussion.
Ian, a gentleman from Scotland, was also visiting our area - involved in a project which oversees child labor regulations. Here in Ghana, this specifically involved children panning for gold and other minerals.
The winter Harmattan wind is over but the air remains dry and dusty. Newly washed floors and any other surfaces are quickly re-covered with a brown layer of dirt. Rainy season not expected much before May.
