Claire Dean (from East London) and Shirley-Ann Oldnall Jansen (from Irene) facilitated these workshops in Accra, Ghana at the beginning of October 2011. They also had a meeting with Mr Charles Aheto-Tsegah, the Deputy Director General of the Ghana Education Service. He would like to put ThinkQuest in all Ghanaian schools with internet connectivity. All went very well and it was a great experience.<br /><br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Below you can see Claire, Richmond Atta-Williams (of the MoE), Shirley, and Harry Tetteh (former ThinkQuest competition winner as a student in front of the National ICT and Science Resource Centre where the training was held.</div></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge6qnbGGTVpEBSYtNHC8_M_PAUqADY-Yyu3eys6PoMpU3qYKcJ5NvYAlpQUR0Q37sMhS-meigxhTdRrxmAnfOCE1asIAIwT3oUZy1ZRLOfOFlglOeRIjbgT3qHDnpLlRgOWYucl0U5_jw/s1600/100_3655.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge6qnbGGTVpEBSYtNHC8_M_PAUqADY-Yyu3eys6PoMpU3qYKcJ5NvYAlpQUR0Q37sMhS-meigxhTdRrxmAnfOCE1asIAIwT3oUZy1ZRLOfOFlglOeRIjbgT3qHDnpLlRgOWYucl0U5_jw/s400/100_3655.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td><td class="tr-caption"><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div></td><td class="tr-caption"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQgGH0HTWTLEckBpSBfjuE2ktK5rJ87RtoUQHK5Jg5RV_Dw-qZGtMi5hBzr17QFBEkiBe2MOFeDoHNDUB7iU-yBCK5qQKz3qSPiIMwCFiPBLGC03j6UWjd63kAZz2XpD52u0TptitASk/s1600/100_3661.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQgGH0HTWTLEckBpSBfjuE2ktK5rJ87RtoUQHK5Jg5RV_Dw-qZGtMi5hBzr17QFBEkiBe2MOFeDoHNDUB7iU-yBCK5qQKz3qSPiIMwCFiPBLGC03j6UWjd63kAZz2XpD52u0TptitASk/s400/100_3661.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Shirley and Claire relaxing on the hotel's private beach</td></tr></tbody></table><br /></div>
