Windows 95 never looked so good as right now on this PC in the middle of Twifo Praso! Jayme and I are here in Ghana and loving it so far. The school is wonderful even thuogh it is in the middle of nowhere! We took a tro tro for 15 mins to be able to send this email out since to use it at the school is super expensive....thus the windows 95 computers and 56K modem fun! Sorry about the lack of pics but it is really hard since there is no bandwidth here at all. Everything is just like I remembered it and I am just loving to be back here and show everything I love to Jayme. We have spent this week in the library working on an inventory and check out scheme and that has kept us plenty busy. We are huge celebrities around the school and all the kids are constantly fighting over who gets to hold our hands. I still maintain that these kids are the cutest on the planet and we just want to take a couple home with us.
We are also loving working with and getting to know Brigham and the staff here. Brigham is a great guy and has a lot of his father in him I think. He told us the story of how the school came to be and how on the day that they broke ground for the school (which he designed since he is architect) his father gave him a special gift. It was a childs picture of some buildings. His father said that when he was 7 years old he told his dad that he had had a dream and saw this school in it and so he drew it. Billy had kept the picture for all those years and Brigham had forgotten about it but when he looked at it Brigham said it was our very school that he had drawn from his dream when he was 7.....cool place...cool people...loving it
