Skito Coast: Dancin' at the Savoy
http://skitocoast.blogspot.com/2012/11/dancin-at-savoy.html
Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Dancin' at the Savoy. The kids were so excited when I first arrived they just couldn’t sit still. When I brought out my camera the second night, they went crazy and everyone wanted to be in every shot. It was hard to capture any one kid. I’ll have to do that on another day.

Skito Coast: If not solar, then WHAT?
http://skitocoast.blogspot.com/2011/05/if-not-solar-then-what.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. If not solar, then WHAT? Last month I posted a link to Max's excellent summary of "Why not solar? But, if not solar, then how can the needs for rural lighting be met? The battery operated lamps and flashlights in the market in Ghana are cheap and very poor quality - there is no warranty, money back, or returns system so everything is "buyer beware".

Skito Coast: Boom Boom
http://skitocoast.blogspot.com/2012/11/boom-boom.html
Friday, November 16, 2012. Whit presenting the vision for Burro's future. Many of you may be asking, “Why are you back in Ghana after being home so long? For me, the answer has many sides. The business in Ghana is growing rapidly with many new products (see www.burrobrand.biz. Lots of customers, and increasing sales. We have also started selling our products in the US, on Amazon. My contribution over the last couple of years has been limited to launching the US business on Amazon. Even that effort was pu...

Skito Coast: One Giant Leap
http://skitocoast.blogspot.com/2012/11/one-giant-leap.html
Friday, November 9, 2012. When I left the last time, Precious was 7 and in KG-2 (there are two levels of kindergarten here). Anyone following the blog at that time knows I had given her family a hard time for about a year before she was finally enrolled in nursery school at age 6. After a few months in nursery school she moved into Kindergarten. She progressed rapidly through KG-1, getting the highest marks in her class in Spoken English (I wonder why? So she is still in Class 1. Here are some super cute...

Skito Coast: Doing More
http://skitocoast.blogspot.com/2010/10/doing-more.html
Sunday, October 10, 2010. Set of 4 Burro batteries. People love the convenience. It would be ideal for villagers if someone were actually making a phone suited to their needs – for instance running on two AA batteries – but in the meantime, they are thrilled with the Burro charger solution! Since the World Bank estimates that breathing kerosene fumes is the equivalent of smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day, this is huge! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What Time Is It?

Skito Coast: Don't Mind Your Wife
http://skitocoast.blogspot.com/2010/09/dont-mind-your-wife.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. Don't Mind Your Wife. No body is free - might as well drink! This is a fairly typical "drinking spot" in Ghana. "Spot" is the word used for bar/tavern/pub. Some names you might see are:. All Is Well Spot,. Be Bold Drinking Spot,. And my personal favorite, Don't Mind Your Wife Drinking Spot, where "mind" is used in the British sense - meaning Don't Pay Any Heed to Your Wife. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What Time Is It? Dont Mind Your Wife. Where is the outrage?

Skito Coast: Mystery
http://skitocoast.blogspot.com/2010/09/mystery.html
Tuesday, September 21, 2010. As always, my immediate questions were “How? 8221; and “Why? 8221; – to which, after two years I should learn, the answer was “No one knows.” Finally, frustrated that I kept asking questions she couldn’t answer, she said, “Let’s go.” I said, “Go where? So, feeling like Grandma Mazur in a Stephanie Plum mystery (I ♥ Janet Evanovich! The bodies of the three sisters, aged between 17 and 20, were brought to Koforidua for burial following a 40-day ban on drumming, noise-making and...
