Humjibre, Ghana - Julius Pasay and Matt Alie arrived in Ghana in February to work with GHEI as Geographic Information Systems (G.I.S.) Consulting Interns for two months.

These skills are invaluable to our monitoring and evaluation efforts. We thank Julius and Matt for their service to GHEI and the Humjibre community.
