Beneath the African Sky: Misuku Visit (in pictures)

Recently, I was fortunate enough to visit my friend and fellow Ed12 Teacher Development Facilitator, Megan. I could try to describe my visit to Misuku, where she lives, but I could never do it justice. Instead, sit back, and let me take you on a photographic tour of one of the most beautiful places I've seen in Africa.

The leaves change color here, too.

Megan and her feline companion, Annie.

Annie is probably causing trouble. She is a kitten.

"The flash is too bright!"

We drank lots of coffee (made with Melissa's press).

Those blue baggies are full of ground coffee. That's right, they sell coffee in the markets in Misuku.

I asked Megan's Deputy Head-Master, a coffee farmer, for some coffee. He brought me a kg of some of the best dark roasted coffee I've ever had in my life.

Teaching genetics

I was quite proud of my TALULAR (Teaching and Learning Using Locally Available Resources) chromosomes.

Me and the two teachers (other than Megan) that attended the whole genetics workshop at Misuku CDSS.
