KSO Murals Continue

One terrific mural down, one big white wall to go. This time we had to come up with our own ideas. Given that it is the 50th Anniversary of Peace Corps' presence in Ghana, we thought we'd honor those who got it all started. Kennedy and Nkrumah. We whipped up a few postage stamp looking things and put a nice world tree map with a tasteful 50th logo to boot.

Take a look at the process:

Progressing nicely

Voila! Notice the 1961 reference.

A job well done.

KSO Murals-Rough Drafts

So, I blame Becky (and a stomach virus) but somehow I got suckered into painting a whole bevy of murals at the KSO (Kumasi Sub Office) these last few days. A good time was had by all (after the stomach virus subsided) and I think on the whole, we did a serious kick ass job.

Here are some pictures of the first one on progress:

Cape Coast Photo Shoot

It was about time I tro some of my favorite students to Cape Coast for a good old fashioned beach side photo shoot. The plan is print these photos out when I go back to the US for Modj's wedding and then give them to the kids as "going away" presents (they will actually be leaving Abura Dunkwa before I do.)
