As you can see. The kids are already excited!
We've used local craftsmen and traditional building techniques for the entire project. The roof is made of thatch, the walls made of mud and the ceiling covered with local hand-woven mats. Even the electrician is from the local village.
The final layer of mud for the interior is built from termite-mound sand, giving it a bright red appearance. The outer walls are also made of mud, but are decorated by groups of female Ghanaian artisans. Every paintining and relief tells a story. The women like to drink (quite a bit) before getting to work. The older the artisan, the higher her rank and more detailed her images.
We've wired the entire lab so that when hydroelectricity reaches the village in the next couple of months, we will be able to add 10-20 computers to the resources that we offer. Please feel free to help support this effort at:
