Tamale to Benin and back to Accra

The rain when it rains hits hard...on the road to Tamale airport the heavens opened delaying the flight to Accra by 2 hours..

What a change to the the clouds just the day before. We had a minister on the plane and several Unicef officials. The region has "food security" problems during the dry season around Dec/Jan. I met the country representative for OIC International and spoke at length of the education and support an organisation can do for this region.

Anyway, down here for 2 nights and this morning (Sun) it's 7:00am and a team of us are preparing to drive in convoy to Benin to set up the Cotonou office. Yes and back tomorrow for me - driving is the only way, about 7 hours with border crossings....it's raining too! so a slower drive....
