Busy Busy (Relatively :) )

So, I just wrote this entry and then the computer freaked out, so I lost it. GAAAHHHH! So, this entry might be a little shotty.

So, I've managed to meet almost all of the groups I am working with in my village over the last week. What is that you say? How the heck did I manage to do that in Ghana? Well, coincidence, actually. haha. After postponing our TMT meeting for about 5 consecutive days (where I woke up at about 5 or 5:30 in the morning, then going to my tourism office and waiting for an hour or more for people to either show up and cancel or not show up at all) we finally met one day. And accomplished some things. Small small. Well, they argued for about a half an hour about something that is wrong with the books. So, that was annoying but at least they are talking together! We are going to open a bank account for the organization on Monday, hopefully ;).

Also, the Palm Oil women met and I am trying to work in getting them a mold to make a hand-cranked nut-sheller. I am trying to connect another group to the Officer at the Ministry of Food and Agriculture to do some education about taking proper care of livestock. Lastly, we had an ICT (Information and Communications Technology) Committee meeting this morning. My village wants to fund raise to get funds for building a library/ICT center. Hey, that's cool. It is a big project, but they are really taking control of it and owning it. I'm starting to realize my community is pretty motivated compared to some others.

Well, I'll elaborate on all this another day! Some people have been writing comments with questions, I'll get to them soon!
