Ghana day 12

Today was pretty uneventful, but still productive. Sammi, from The Village Net, came to our hotel so that we could work more with him.


The rest of the group went to a bank and an oil company, I believe. We were able to get quite a bit accomplished with Sammi, but it would have been nice to have even more time...which won't happen. Apparently a team from Google will be coming in a few months to follow up where we left off. We will still have some kind of post mortem with the people back in Seattle and give them a report of what we did, what our observations were, and what our recommendations are.

After we had lunch Sammi went back to Ofankor and we went to a company called Vestergaard Frandsen to meet up with the rest of the group.


It was a very interesting company. They are the world's leading producer of mosquito nets. The speaker was quite dynamic, which has been a rarity this trip. They even gave us a lifestraw (one of their products) that filters water from pretty much anywhere so you can drink it.

From there we went back to the hotel where some us took a dip in the pool and then we went out for dinner. Chinese again.

What's a post mortem entail?

We will write up a small report of what we observed and what our recommendations are. The post mortem will just be a run through of those things plus where we think they should go from here.
