I'm taking a five month leave of absence from my engineering job in Calgary with CH2M HILL to learn more about life in Africa. I've arrived in Northern Ghana and am working with the Bole District Assembly as part of Engineers Without Borders Governance and Rural Infrastructure team. This blog tells of my living situation, work, and experiences through my new perspective.

My Hometown
Here are some random photos of my Ghanaian hometown of Bole.
Friday Market
Main road through town
My bike and the road I go running on in the morning.
My path to work from my house. (The house shown is my neighbour's house)
These are some great shots Jody. Glad to see that you are doing well. What has been your greatest learning moment over the past week? What is one tangible outcome you will work to achieve (at work, in personal growth, or in general life) over this next week?
Jody, I am so proud of you and what you are doing!
I hope you're OK with me having passed your blog address on to my Senior High Social Studies teacher friend in Slave Lake. Helping students achieve a global social conscience is one of her goals and I thought that peeking at your commitment and contribution could help with that.
You have an eye for an effective picture, and have certainly also got your mother's writing talent.
