Ghana (2015)

Project Overseas 2015

The Canadian Teacher's Federation sends 54 teachers to 12 to 15 developing countries each year to help local teachers unions to improve their teacher's practice. This year I was selected to be one of two team leaders going to Ghana. This year we were to go to Tamale in the middle of the country, Bolgatanga in the north and Berekum in the west.

Please check out this fundraiser page we created before I left for Ghana:
