Three quick news items today.
Mark celebrated Black History Month at Roman Ridge school today. No one explained why the celebration occurred in March instead of February. Students mainly prepared songs. Mark played drums on My Girl and Redemption Song, despite having no formal training on the instrument.
One of the features of the Ghana semester program is two-week internships. Students identify the top three NGOs where they would like a placement, and Tracy works to secure positions. Today, she took a trip to Haven of Hope orphanage/school with prospective interns. The visit went well, and the students will work there in May.
Finally, we spent an enjoyable evening with visiting colleagues Cal and Karen at DNR Turkish Restaurant.
