Happy "Vals" Day

Hope everyone had a good “Vals Day” as it’s known here. Ugh, the power just went out. It is pouring right now. The weather here is wild—it was cloudy this morning, sunny and hot all afternoon, then there was some thunder, then lots of wind, and now this. Repeat times 365. And now the power has returned, yet on it pours.

Internet and the Blogger website have been giving me grief lately. I didn’t make any friends this morning at the internet café when I refused to pay the full price given that I spent at least half of the time staring at a loading page. But I only rounded the price down by 500 cedis, so I can sleep easy knowing that my stubbornness probably didn’t bankrupt Supanet Internet Café.

The past few days have been full of various work tasks and meeting with various people. Alongside re-establishing our clinics, we have to work with the District Assemblies to get the people in the villages registered under the National Health Insurance Scheme. Plus we are going to try and procure a 4x4 so we can get to some of the most remote areas.

Finally, I have figured out how to watch the Olympics in Kumasi, but I’m not going to be able to watch every event that matters to Canada. The Canada-Finland game is being shown on Sunday night, so I’ll almost certainly watch that. Okee-doke, I’m done.
