Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Greetings from Burkina Faso!

Im currently in a town called Bobo Dioulassoin the west of Burkina. Im sure getting a workout with my french rightnow... that and learning how to type on a French-style keyboard. I am finished with my first semester at the Univ. of Ghana and I plan to travel throughout West Africa for the break, and its all within my host district. Ive done a number of presentations at Rotary clubs and I visited abore-well project sponsered by my host club at a hospital close to Acrra.
I am definitely still planning on visiting the International Conference as well as attending the RYLA event (if I can get all the paper worksubmitted).I spent Thanksgiving riding a bus frm northern Ghana back to Accra. Mydinner consisted of some biscuits, some fruit, a few kebabs... not much ofa traditional Thanksgiving dinner!

The reasons for my travels were tovisit a game park in the north. We saw plenty of antelope species,monkeys, baboons, warthogs.... unfortunately no elephants though. I havedefinitely had a great first semester and I cant wait to see what will come my way with the new year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
