If you haven't seen the article about the computer lab project in the Burlington Free Press (April 14th), check it out online:

If you are reading this blog for the first time as a result of the Free Press article, welcome! My most recent posts have more information about the Gwollu Computer Lab project and how you can contribute. Also, feel free to read the other posts about my experiences here in Ghana and enjoy the pictures. If you have any questions or want to know more about anything just email me and I'll be happy to respond.
Also, a huge THANK YOU to the students at Rick Marcotte Central School in South Burlington, VT and Underhill Central School in Underhill, VT who have already raised a combined $2,000 to support the students in Gwollu (see article)! I am so impressed at your generosity; it certainly means a lot to the students and teachers here!

Sorry, for now you'll have to copy and paste the text above (when I try to make a link on blogspot it is not showing up at all).
For more information about the project, please read my previous post (below) or email me for the complete proposal. If the link above does not work for you, you can go to www.peacecorps.gov/donate and find my project (it is project # 641-294).
Thanks for your support!
On another note, I went to the paragliding festival last weekend and had a blast! I did an amazing tandem paragliding jump with a guy from Colorado (www.flytim.com), there were all sorts of Peace Corps Volunteers and other fun people there, we had a great place to stay on the mountain for the weekend, and there were all sorts of fun activities going on for the festival. I took some video with my new camera (even while in the air!), but the files are too big to upload here. I'll try to get pictures from my friends when I see them at the end of the month and put some up.
