The Guppy Went With Gusto: 11/01/2008 - 12/01/2008

The Guppy Went With Gusto. After working in schools in The Gambia, Scotland, New York City and Boston, I am now teaching in Douala, Cameroon. The Credit Crunch Hits (Rented) Home. Unfortunately my quest ended in failure. The customer service agent informed me that, since I carry no debt or mortgage (HA! Alas, I was incorrect in this assumption. As banks have belatedly moved to tighten their lending and credit provision strategies, I remain out of the UK financial loop, at least for the next six months.

Adventures in Living: November 2005
http://zacshepherd.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2005. The sounds of evening call to prayer can be quite beautiful. Morning call to prayer, at five ish, are a little bit less inspiring, but taking a bath in the deepening night, as I am serenaded by imams (in a fashion), is pretty cool. Especially when the weather is as dry and relatively cool as tonight. Life has been a blur lately no posts in a while are the result. Two Fridays ago I had an experience with a mason that maybe shouldn’t be recorded, but was very instructive .

The Gambia on One Blair a Day: January 2010

The Gambia on One Blair a Day. Saturday, January 16, 2010. Behold the Book Suit! About a year and a half ago, I noticed some things:. A lot of the schools I visited had at least a few books aside from their government-issue textbooks. Some even had set up libraries. Hardly anyone used them. When they were used, it usually wasn't pretty. Books got torn; books got shelved backwards and upside down; books got lost. I had a lot of time on my hands. I also had a lot of art supplies. And a spine. (Get it?

Adventures in Living: April 2006
http://zacshepherd.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 25, 2006. Today has been an exercise in patience, more so than most days here, which I think is saying a lot. This morning I went to the Anglican mission school an upper basic (middle school) where I am trying to get their computer lab up and going.

Then he asked them if they had suggestions, which I disagreed ...

Wednesday, May 25, 2005. How wrong I was. Life can be great sometimes. There are so many ways to learn things. Like when you think you are done with something and you wake up. Literally in this case, I woke up and got hit with a bag of cement that was two different projects both screaming for my attention. Well, not screaming so much as just behaving like truant junior high students. Everytime I think I am out, the. Y pull me back in. Posted by Zac at 9:28 AM. Tuesday, May 24, 2005. I was a Peace Corps V...
