One of the perks of living in northern Ghana is that once a year some camels coming walking down the road from Mali----and this year they stopped at my house for water! My neighbor kids were terrified of these animals, and only one would get anywhere near them.
David, the brave one.
Oh my, so much white skin! How inappropriate.
Scott, another volunteer, turned 30. Like the candles? They don't have electricity at their house, so they used what they had lying around...

My previous headmistress (second from the left) at her retirement send-off, with my new headmistress on her right. Notice the woman on the left---that's her baby Wisdom's feet and head you can see straddled around her. So cute.
Some teachers at my school, Dan and Alhassan Mohammed, with my retired headmistress and my best student, Kwabena.
The light of my life----my new bunny, Paa Wuni.
I could watch her eat all day.
I visited my student, Amina, at her home village. This is us with her grandmother.
Amina's father and others. Unfortunately, the guy in the middle kept saying he wanted to marry Amina, and I told him 'no', and that she needed to stay in school. Later, I told Amina that she should protect herself from this man and refuse him. It is tragically common for deaf individuals to be sexual abused by members of their family or community.
Amina's sisters (another one is also deaf)
Enjoying an afternoon beer, cake, and cheese dip with my favorite northern region volunteers.
Coal pot pizza!
Me inside of a tree.
This is how pineapple grows----who knew?
Some kids killed a giant bush rat, and came to show us.
