HIV Presentation

Don't miss the videos of my HIV presentation!

I gave an HIV presentation in sign language to my JHS students. This was in preparation for a poster contest we will have next term.







My wonderful student Kwabene was helping me show cards during the 'risk' game.



question time



I was telling them to clean any tools that they use that cut the skin.

Dan, another teacher, was helping me during the question session if the students were signing too fast.





girls dorms--pretty nice, actually

I have a way of making babies happy...or not.

Murals have started! A grid of primary colors. Neither the floor, ceiling, or adjacent walls are anywhere near 90 degrees/perfect, so we're doing the best we can...

review game from this term

There's a genetic condition called Waardenburg Syndrome that combines deafness and blue or brown eyes--I have at least four students with blue eyes---Akeliweletu is one. Beautiful!


Mariama has one blue and one brown eye


Angelina has blue eyes and partially white hair which is also characteristic of Waardenburg Syndrome.

  1. Hey Kate, I came across your blog when I was looking through Peace Corps wiki; my name is Alex Fankuchen and I'm a PCV in Cape Verde. I'm COSing this July and I'm planning a trip through west Africa and I was wondering if you could help me. I'm applying for visas to a number of countries, including Ghana, and I have to list a contact in country; is there any chance I could list you? I don't need anything complicated just a phone number (even the PC office number) and a reasonable looking address. Also, I'm sure I'll have some questions about Ghana, so maybe I can run them by you when I think of more. Anyway, I appreciate your help.
