Ghana is a sauna.

A quick update from SFU Ghana...

The team has been staying in Apam, a small town on the coast a couple of hours west of the capital city, Accra. We have been keeping busy working at the local hospital doing administrative-type work and teaching in the nearby schools. Teaching in particular has been a lot of fun - the kids here are so much more well-behaved than back home!

Everyone on the team is doing really well. There have been few minor illnesses but overall we couldn't have asked for better fortune. This weekend we had a chance to tour a couple of the very first fortifications built by colonialists in Cape Coast. Really interesting stuff. It's hard to believe we only have just over a week left in our stay. We'll be heading west to relax at a lodge for our last few days before returning to Vancouver via Amsterdam.

It's been great reading the updates from all the other teams. Keep up the good work!
