Ghana is a pretty stable, West African country, and we have a lot of talented students who just graduated from university with degrees in computer science, but who aren't doing anything imaginative or creative with their degrees. Also, I am interested in them developing mobile applications for healthcare, so we can have an interface for people in rural areas to access immediate emergency health information on their phones. I look forward to hearing from you. Hello,
