Hey everybody -
Here are two of the Tamale Sub-Office guards modeling the NABSS girls' dormitory bunk beds complete with treated blue UNICEF bed nets! (The mattresses are not included sadly...) The bed nets DO smell a little funny, but that's because they're fancy and treated with insecticide. Supposedly, the net is designed with bigger holes than conventional nets to let more air flow, but the mosquitos still can't pass through them - AND the chemical is supposed to be effective for 5 years! As a last bonus, the Regional Director of the Ghana Health Service gave me the bargain price of 1.00 Ghana cedi per net - even less than their usual subsidized selling price of 2.00 Ghana cedis - so I went ahead and bought 100 nets! Little by little my to-do list is shrinking...

It's a major accomplishment to get anything off your To Do list in Ghana when so much is out of your control. You've really "done something"! Best of luck with the rest of your list. "God willing" it will all get done.

Carl: You are making my trek to supply donkeys to Gambaga seem terribly small. Very happy things are progressing so well. Send me an email sometime and know that you are welcome here in California.
