“Success manifests also in small daily events, not only in the accomplishment of great ambitions.”
The teacher-training workshops for the college staff have definitely been some of my most fulfilling moments here. The teachers are enthusiastic, engaged, and according to the pre and post test data, actually learning something! Before coming to volunteer in Ghana, I had never formally prepared a professional development workshop for teachers. Now, I know I can do it, and do it fairly well. I’m spreading some good information around here and that is really something for me. That is, after all, why I came to this faraway land.

Even my love of Scrabble is rubbing off on people here. I ordered my friend, Ameyaw, a travel scrabble game, and we played for three hours the other day! Several staff members stopped by to check out the game, and my roommate has asked if I could send her a few Scrabbles when I return to the states. If I can help to heighten the popularity of this game in Ghana, then I will feel like I accomplished something. Love me some educational word games. Double word score for Ms. Amy this week!
