The Beginning...

On June 11, 2009 I signed a contract with Arc-en-Ciel International School in Lome Togo to teach the English speaking Kindergarten class for this coming school year. I know that this is the beginning of a what I've hoped and prayed that this year would be...adventure and change. I want to live with more meaning, not just for my students.

I've bought a new rolling duffel bag, some bug spray, a mosquito net, a huge hat to shade me from the sun and off I go. I leave with my 3 suitcases to this amazing new land on August 25th.

Togo is a French speaking country on the West Coast of Africa that boarders Ghana, Burkina Faso, & Benin. I will live in the capitol city Lome, which is right on the ocean and a 15 minute drive from the Ghana boarder.
