I am an undergraduate student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana studying environmental Science. I wish to undertake an undergraduate internship program. I would like to know whether you enroll local university students to undertake internship programs here in Ghana.

i miss you
never thought of you as a surfer chick, but then, you never cease to amaze me. Can't see pics on Grandpa's computer, at least right now. But will check them on Ann's computer when I get home. I'll be in Redding on the 23rd of April. I am moving to OKlahoma for sure, unless something changes my mind. I like a lot of things there and will feel at home, I think. Had a great time with sister Faith and David. How to get all my plants there? Scottie, beam us up! More later. I'm here until the 23rd, said that already. This place is rubbing off on me! Love, Momma

How to cook (while a resident on campus) in Ghana
You poor thing! Now I understand why the foreign students subject themselves to the strange rituals of buying from, or eating at Night Market, open air restaurants, and vendors. It is dirt Cheap. And Shopright is definitely NOT where most locals buy their groceries. To many items there are imported, and cost more than in the U.S. or source countries. With no decent institutionally-approved, 'international'-standard dining facilities affordable to international students, the managers of ISH need to invest in fully-equipped kitchens on each floor. After all for all the money they collect from foreign students, they should have international student standards. It is a real shame. I keep wondering how many foreign students get sick from the food at the Night Market, just from not being accustomed to these foods. I do buy fruits and select items from the market myself, but hesitate at the items that are not well-protected from flies, or have doubtful origins.

Good job!
What an opportunity! I hope this pans out for you in ways that will really help you make connections and move in the directions you want. You should let the Chancellor's Office know...

Robin Ray
Hello, I am responding to the message you sent me about the internship. I would hope that the lady who hired me for the UNU INRA internship (Dr. Yvonne Idun) would hire locals! She is working with KNUST to develop a graduate program for environmental science, too. I am glad to hear that you are studying this in Ghana. Her email is epa29122007@gmail.com, so contact her about working with her. Good Luck, Robin Ray
