Day 15: Prep @ Google Office


Today was another day to be spent at office and with the NGO day happening tomorrow, everybody was wound up and preparing massively  for our presentations. A team of 5 from us were assigned to the NGO day while the remaining 5 were assigned as organizers of the Women's Entrepreneur day. Since I was a part of the team organizing the entrepreneur day next week, I spent the time drawing out the slides for Google AdWords - Yes, I was presenting on Google AdWords tomorrow.

All day prep, multiple run throughs, logistics check etc, we were almost  ready for tomorrow.  But the day wouldn't end until a dinner with the US Ambassador to Ghana @ Buke Fina restaurant. We met Mr. John Teedle'  and the rest of the delegates from the US embassy at 7:00pm; had an interesting conversation with the Country director for US Aid about their programs in Ghana - Health & Education and ate my favorite Jollof rice with grilled chicken again. Apparently, finding quality tseachers in the rural areas have been one of their biggest hurdles. Most people who are educated enough to be teachers move to the city creating an urban - rural knowledge gap.

By 9:30pm, we were all ready to leave. Both vans were loaded & we headed back to Holi Flats. Tomorrow was a big day!  :)
