Ghanaian Al-Hassan: May 2006
http://ghanaiankyle.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Kyle Baptista's 2006 JFID in Ghana. In Damongo, rains have threatened us for a few days. Large, perilous storms which seem certain to hit veer away from us at the last minute. There is a system to these storms that anyone can use to detect their occurrence minutes before they start (besides from looking at the clouds, of course):. Posted by Kyle at 06:05. We borrowed a truck from the MoFA office and transported my mattress from the Shangrila to my new home. We were greeted by all of the neighbors as ...

Ghanaian Al-Hassan: June 2006
http://ghanaiankyle.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Kyle Baptista's 2006 JFID in Ghana. Ghanaians can hardly believe what they have witnessed; Ghana is ranked #48 in the world against the #2 Czechs. After the first goal, almost everyone in town crowds around the few stores which have televisions. Ghana's national broadcaster, GTV, can be picked up by any antennae, making it very easy to receive the signals live from Germany. I hope you will join me in cheering on Ghana in the FIFA World Cup for the remainder of the tournament. Posted by Kyle at 10:11.

Living and learning on a 1 year volunteer placement with Engineers Without Borders Canada. Monday, February 05, 2007. 06 Hamre Receives Food-aid. Yesterday after a hard morning's work plowing my field, I came home hungry to a house with no food. I hadn't planned well and did not stock pile for the week’s end. I rummaged high and low but all I could find were a few small pieces of cassava root which I optimistically roasted, hoping to end my hunger and rejuvenate my energy. There I was, an Engineers Witho...

Wednesday, February 07, 2007. Christmas with a spear-gun. Being 7,000 km away from home at Christmas can be pretty tough especially if you haven’t had a chance to see your family in 7 months but getting to use a spear gun to hunt wild. Tuna can help a bit. So as a bit of context, for Christmas break we decided to take a real vacation and head to Moçambique for some sun, sand, and socializing. This fish was huge and once I saw it I was drawn in to find out more information. They SPEARED this giant tuna.
