Tuesday began bright and early, as we all somehow managed to drag ourselves out of bed in time for breakfast. As per usual, we walked to our respective schools to join our classes. My class was particularly excited to see me, as they had long ago assumed I had thrown in the towel, flown home, and reunited with my cheeseburger. Meanwhile Katie and Julia seemed to have a big success making and flying kites in the Kg, and Nancy, Lisa, Angie, and my mom tutored a few students one-on-one in French, math, and English.
After a short break and lunch, we were off to tutoring, which ran smoothly as usual. A few of us then went on to the Volta Hotel and used the Internet, which never seems to get old. We got back, had dinner, and enlisted Amo to teach us something to surprise our guests on Friday. This has proved to be more challenging than we had expected, but we’re down for the challenge. After that, the group had a long discussion about the communities need for certain technology, in particular, how they might benefit from something that would project as a laptop screen. We went back to our rooms- many of us continuing work we had to do before tomorrow’s school day. Hopefully we all had quiet, restful, and a bat-free night to prepare us for the coming day.
