Day 1-3


TZ

Akunz
So we made it to Ghana!  Our team is one member short, which is sad but hopefully it will ensure that he comes on the next trip.  After many, many hours in planes and airports, a few delirious and dehydrated hours in the cars and heat yesterday, some attempts at coherent conversation, we finally crashed at about 9pm last night.  We were still pretty delirious at breakfast this morning, but after running errands we had glorious afternoon naptime to recover the rest of the way.  We then had dinner with our local contact and friend, Dr. Anthony Akunzele (in the top two pictures), who hosted us with some wonderful dinner, which consisted of rice, plantains, some sort of cooked leafy concept with fish, and TZ (see the picture above).  TZ is sort of a bread dough, which is paired with a soup that is like a blend of collard greens and the slimy part of okra.  A curious combination, but good once you get past the initial textural experience.
Team with Akunz

After dinner, we spent some time discussing with Akunz some of our plans for our time in Yua, and he is as excited to see our results as we are.  He is very proud of the projects we have completed, and is excited to see the benefits quantified.  He is also hoping to connect us with other communities here that we may be able to partner with.

Our time in Accra has been filled with excitement, anticipation, and a lot of time stuck in absurd traffic in hot cars...we've been in a constant state of 'glisten', shall we say.  We leave for Yua tomorrow in the early morning, and are excited to start our work here.

  3. I drop a leave a response whenever I like a post on a site or if I have something to contribute to the discussion.

    Usually it's a result of the passion displayed in the article I read. And after this article "Day 1-3". I was actually excited enough to drop a comment :-) I do have 2 questions for you if you usually do not mind. Is it simply me or does it look like like some of these responses appear like written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting on additional online sites, I'd like to follow
    you. Would you list all of your community pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

  8. These are still mid range skills, and they improve
    upon other skills with additional destruction.

    Rather than listen and hold court on all of the catastrophic predictions being blasted out into the Universe,
    stop for a moment, and simply be with yourself.
