Today at Accra Girls Secondary School we three US teachers spent the morning connecting a computer to a projector and figuring out how to make a room dark enough to present some PowerPoints that we (and one of my students) had prepared.  After quite a bit of troubleshooting, we proceeded to present 3 or 4 times to large groups of girls.  We told them about what life is like in our schools, what our students are like and how it is to live in our areas. I had the opportunity to share Anna's Powerpoint and the girls were really interested in her life.  Several had questions for Anna.  One, in particular, was inquiring about her relationship with her father.  The Ghanaian girls tell me that oftentimes their relationship with their father is one of power struggle and conflict.  I want to write more about today's lesson, but must meet host teacher Jonathan.  He is hosting us for dinner at his home tonight.  I will post more later....and some pictures from today
