Social Studies Teacher

It's true! I'm now teaching social studies for form 1 and 2. You may ask extraneous questions like "But Mike, aren't you teaching Math?" and "Are you qualified to teach social studies?". The answer to both is no. But why not try my hand at teaching different subject? If I don't teach it, no one else will (lack of teachers at the school and people just dont want to teach SS). Also, I'm trying to start a penpal program of sorts, where students in my school will make a trip down to Ho (destination: Internet Cafe) and skype with students from the US. Hopefully this week or next week we will start implementing our action plan. Halloween is fast approaching, and I will be traveling for a bit to enjoy the holiday, albeit on a bad road to the destination.
Vodafone modem inoperable (to connect to the Internet from my town), and Voda is refusing to give me cash-back (only vouchers to spend at Voda). Lame. So it may be another few weeks before I can get access for my ICT students to the Internet from the village. Woe.
This about sums up the weeks. 10 months to go, but time is going by quickly!
