Day 17: Thursday July 23, '09

Today we all worked to wrap up all the many projects started over the course of the past few weeks.
Alicia finished adding the drawers, affixed a divider to create a designated spot for a reinforcement item, and attached a wire with locally made beads as a counter for easier data collection.  All together she was able to make four complete desk and chair sets, specifically modified for students with autism and their caregivers/therapists. While back in the US, she will be working on the instruction manual to send to AACT, in order for the staff to create more of these desks in the future. 
Brad and Lori spent the morning making sure all of the training sessions were well documented and the appropriate certificates were available.  Once the paperwork was completed, we ran over to Busy Internet to print out a hard copy for AACT's new training log binder.  I spent the rest of the day continuing to help the caregivers run the students programs, as well as be a human shield for the desks that still had spots of wet paint. 
In the evening, Brad and Lori had the opportunity to partake in a traditional drumming ceremony and receive their own drums made by Lewis, a local Akuma Village musician.   We all then enjoyed another wonderful Ghanaian dinner.
