Leslie Jessell's Ghana Experience: Departing date

I will be leaving Washington, DC on Wednesday September 3rd, arriving in Ghana Thursday September 4th.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

In answer to many requests, here are the next four (out of about 40!) things I’d like to do for my school:

1) Dry erase markers for teachers (They’re expensive so often the teachers don’t use the white boards in the classrooms which leaves them using the impossible-to-read ‘blackboards’)
50 packs @$4.50 from Sams-I’d have someone bring them over) DONE! Thanks Penrose family!

2) A large screen so we can use the 2 LCD projectors on something other than a bumpy wall.
I can get that here @$300?

3) Spare bulb for LCD projector.
From Staples under $200. I could bring that in May.
DONE (2)! Thanks Penrose family and Marge Delaney!

4) Laptop for the school (To be able to travel around with the projectors) $800
I’d buy in US and bring it here.

If you want to donate/send something send either donation or check(payable to Eric Jessell) to Eric at my home address. (see Blog entry 2-5) I’ll have the Headmistress write you an acknowledgement if you donate. Thanks.
