Today we traveled from Kumasi to Sunyani, all by ourselves. We walked to catch a taxi in a different section of the university campus, caught a taxi to the bus station, boarded the bus to Sunyani, unloaded two hours later, and caught another taxi to our dorms. As far as traveling around Ghana, I am starting to feel a little more confident.
Shortly after we arrived in Sunyani, we had a meeting with the headmistress and one of the teachers at the school. Roger, Mark, and I will be teaching two computer lessons tomorrow for a total of 1.5 hours, so I will be writing lesson plans shortly after this.
The computer teacher gave us some excellent books to use as a guide, so I think we will have fun teaching the students tomorrow. The three of us will be there at 7am to make sure we have everything set up.
The school we will be working at is only about a twenty-minute walk from where we are staying, so it should be working perfectly.
Sunyani itself is a smaller town, and does not have the hustle and bustle of Kumasi. After dinner and settling into our dorms this afternoon, most of us took a 2-hour walk around the city. A young boy, maybe three or four years old, pulled up in a car with two women while we were waiting for Emmanuel (the professor we are working with), and practiced his English on us. It was really funny.
