I'm still here!

March 19, 2026

As recently mentioned,  Kwadwo and I (Fran Osseo-Asare) have begun a new chapter in our lives after retiring from Penn State. We  moved to Kigali, Rwanda, where he is working with Carnegie Mellon Africa as they continue to develop the school here. We sold our house in Pennsylvania, so apart from our long-term rental here, our only house is the one son DK built us in Tema, Ghana years ago. We will likely move there in a few months.

The time here to date has been amazing: the tropical garden at the house here  is fantastic, the culinary scene is exciting (more later), people are gracious and friendly and the landscape is so CLEAN and SAFE after Ghana (sorry). The hills remind me of the San Francisco of my childhood. People have been very welcoming. It's just uncomfortable when we have so much more than most people here.

I am only now settled enough to turn my attention back to my online presence. Lots to learn  --technology never slows down, does it? Please check back again soon. And let me know you saw this.
