Greetings once again everyone!
As of March 20th, all the "plastering" is finished (this is the concrete work on top of the block work that makes everything smooth and nice - there's no dry walling...), the wooden ceilings have been constructed, and all electrical work is laid and ready to be connected. I left Nakpanduri with my headmaster, headed for Tamale for one last shopping trip. We bought "burglar proof" mesh and screens for the windows, paint, and door hardware - spending the LAST of my PCPP money! While I had hoped the flooring would be done and the windows installed - Mr. Jatuat assured me that this was to be done within two days of my returning to Tamale (presumably...it's done by now). The next pictures I send will be of the COMPLETED dormitory, with ASSEMBLED bunkbeds and HAPPY students! The program on April 2nd should be very interesting. The Peace Corps Ghana Country Director, Bob Golledge, is making the long trek from Accra to attend - and I'm giving a speech...partially in the local language! I'll try to get a picture of the astounded faces as I speak...
I'm astounded by your generosity and support. Thanks for making my last few months such a success!
Carl

Carl, There's a great deal of blue in your photos, but we're far from it here. Everyone is so very thrilled with the idea of your returning home - even for one week! The dorm and all appointments look wonderful. We can only imagine the delight of the students. Great job! Be safe. Love, Pix and Art
