....the title says it all. I'm a teacher here in Ghana, and many of the people in my town know me as Kwabena Matchew. And for those of you not famaliar with African names, everyone is given a name for the day of which you were born. I was born on Tuesday, so my Twi (one of the main Ghanaian languages) name is Kwabena. I've been pretty busy with classes so far this term even though we have yet to make a daily class schedule. LOL. It's all good though. As of now I'm teaching two classes of mathematics and two classes of computers in a school with no computers and almost all of the students have never used a computer before. So I've just started and I think I'm going to have to come up with some creative ways to teach. I'm up for the challenge, it should be fun.
On a more somber note....from what I hear the credit crisis and world financial disaster is just getting started. I feel for all of those with money invested, but I feel as if there is no better place to ride out the storm than sitting in some far away country that wants nothing to do with the outside world...it's great. I wish you all the best, and good luck out there in the world, I'll keep my ear to the radio and my eyes to the net for all the latest...

I've got to hand it to you. I'm 52 years old and I can officially say that you have the coolest nickname of anybody I ever met. Even if the rest of the trip over there is a bust, that more than makes up for it.
Very cool.
The appraisal thing is going well in Vegas. I miss Mom and McPoo but that's the price of progress.
I've got to get after it now. Keep up the good work.
