After a long bus ride from Accra, fourteen of the Fellows arrived in Tamale late last night! Our 2 snow-storm causalities will be joining their teams in Tamale shortly and we can’t wait for them to get here and join in on the fun.

For the first day of the fellowship, the fellows spent the morning in the office learning about the global water crisis and some of the technology and approaches to solving this problem. After a group activity and review of the coming week’s agenda, the fellows explored Tamale by competing in a team challenge, the Tamale scavenger hunt! The teams were given an hour and a half to find ten items throughout the center of town. Team one was appropriately named as they won the hunt in 55 minutes!

Want to join in on the fun? Apply for the 2011 Summer Fellowship Program! The application is now posted on our website, so check it out today!

This week’s blizzard on the East Coast made for quite an interesting couple days of travel for our Session 1 CWS Fellows.  Luckily, 14 of our 16 fellows safely arrived in Accra as planned and other 2 will be landing in a couple of days! The 14 fellows will officially start their Ghananian adventure tomorrow morning when they hop on the bus with Shak and head up to Tamale.  We are so excited for the start of Session 1 and can’t wait for the fellows to arrive in Tamale and start their fellowship orientation!
