Hey

Well, I took a trip yesterday to Ada, which consists of Big Ada and Ada Foah. IO had been once before but this time I was their to meet the man that I will work for after charismas. His work is at a place called Radio Ada, a community radio station that broadcasts in Dagme, the local language. Radio Ada Claims to give voice to the voiceless, and it appear that they do a very good job. My work at the station will be teaching computers to local people of all ages. There is a class that has just started and the young men running it are very nice and excited to be working with me. I will also have the opportunity to go out with the station to communities and see what they do and how they make their programmes. One woman their said to me that ‘we let the people do the talking, our job is just to hold microphone. It was very nice meeting and they warmly accepted me and are all excited for my joining them in the second week of January.

After this nice visit I WALKED AROUND ADA, down to the beach and met my friends their, Quasi, whom I had met earlier, he makes braclets and sits on the beach all day. So I think that will live down near the beach and have a 30 minuets bike ride everyday to work. The town is very nice and it is right where the river – Volta – meats the ocean. The beaches are white and endless and the su is hot but the wind blows all day. I think that I will like this palce a lot, and the work seems very important and usefull.

OTHER THAN THAT I will be heading towards a towen called amasaman today to do some research into the Health issues inn the Ga west district, near accra. Very interesting, it is the last academic work I will have to do all year, until the long report due in three months. Very nice. So that it what I have been up to this last week, oho and I got a myt sweet matching outfit for me and one for Kate, it is great and quite fun too.

PEACE
