Miscellaneous Doings

The Director of an impressive school here in Tamale - grades Nursery through Junior Secondary - invited me to visit a couple of times. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and observing the French teachers and getting involved in their classes. Have been asked to pop in as a "guest teacher" anytime.
Wednesday afternoons have included swimming in a nearby hotel's outdoor pool. Great way to exercise and certainly beats walking in the hot African sun.
Various organizations arrange short-term programs in town. An educational group from Denmark recently visited the school I mentioned above, and a medical team of plastic surgeons and anesthesiologists spent a little over a week at Tamale Teaching Hospital performing special procedures on patients brought in from different areas of Ghana. Jim joined the visiting physicians as well, collaborating on some interesting cases.
