  2. @jamesoreilly It's Larium.At least that's what my Peacecorps vol friend who gave it to me said. 1st week in Ghana I thought it was laxatives

  4. BEN Namibia mentioned in an article about one of our partners, Bikes for the World: http://tinyurl.com/yfamcks
  5. Had some crazy dreams since arriving in Ghana due to malaria medication. Fav so far involved downloading emails through the air conditioner
  6. We trained around 30 people in bike mechanics today, and I must have sweated a litre for every one of them.
  7. Preparing for two weeks on the road in Ghana, providing training in bicycle assembly and preparing partners to receive their bikes
  8. Just got the tallies in--BEN Namibia and Bicycles for Humanity's projects have created jobs for 86 Namibians, 51% of whom are women.
