The first days in Ghana




Well have spend almost two full days in Ghana and I think everyone is having a great time. We started the first day with a quick lesson in Twii (the main language here in Ghana) and sent the experimenters off to the open air market in smaller groups to pick some necessities and local fruits and spices based on some basic vocabulary and greetings. Everyone was successful finding their items and seemed invigorated by the experience. Many of them were relieved to find the Ghanaian people to be so friendly and helpful as they searched the market for various items. We finished the day with a lesson in Ghanaian political history and another lesson in Twii.

Today we went into Accra and visited a more touristic artisans market where the experimenters found some souvenirs and they experienced more of the Ghanaian hospitality. This evening the experimenters have enjoyed a lesson in traditional Ghanaian dance. All in all we are having a great time and will try to update the blog soon and I hope to include some fun pictures!

I'm glad the experimenters are learning that we all are neighbors and co-inhabitants of this great planet. We all share the same basic needs, wants and desires. Embrace the experience and come back better citizens of the world for it.
