It was another great day in Ghana. The heavy rains from last night made today cooler than usual. After breakfast, the medical team split up. The group at Senchi Clinic screened the blood pressure of upwards of 200 patients. At the Senchi Ferry Clinic, the goug-goug didn’t begin until 10 AM so we were able to see Madame Grace in action.

We screened 50 patients for blood pressure. The afternoon was spent at the river. Four people went rowing and the rest of played volleyball. I’m pretty sure the Med students are the reigning champs. Finally we got jello at dinner, which was an awesome treat.
