i think i my response was really? and before he could respond i said "i wanna go!"
then he explained how it all came to be.
recently he gave a tour of the high tech high (HTH) liberty station campus {5 schools total} to a director of a private school organization in africa. because the hth system is unique, giving tours to folks
from all over the world is nothing new for christopher. he leads tours of some type almost monthly.
getting invited to come to the country of someone he's toured {all expenses paid} IS something new!
the ceo of this organization is american, and his school's headquarters is based in ghana.
he wants to replicate some of the 'big ideas' he saw at high tech high during his tour there
a few weeks ago - specifically on the flexibility of the spaces {example: classrooms have walls
that roll up or move to the side so the rooms can be flexible for other uses}. he was thrilled.
so c's been researching construction methods so he understands the standard building method there
and his goal is to be able to bring the organization better building techniques, as well as better design.
he heads to ghana in early january for a week. i can hardly wait to hear all about his experiences there. i also want to see lots of photos. c has promised me he'd be more of a shutterbug than normal.
i'm counting on it.
~ we finished signing holiday cards tonight - we're up to 150 now so it took a while!

but there's still more to do before the big day! i better get to it. xoxo
