The Road to Ghana

Here We Are!

Ghana is quite an experience! I'll be honest, this has been hard at times. I have faced language barriers, heat and humidity, intense traffic, inhaled of a lot of gas fumes, crazy taxi and tro-tro rides, team dynamics, been stared at by so many people calling me 'Albruni' or 'hey white lady', and the list goes on. My initial perceptions of Ghana were of a chaotic environment which lacks the infrastructure to support the millions of people who live here. Those perceptions have persisted through my travels here, and have also been challenged - up north away from the city, the country is so amazing and beautiful. I came here to do research and learn, and it truly has been a rewarding experience. Many of the people I have met in the communities here in Pokuase, Ofankor and Amasaman are caring, kind, ambitious and motivated. They are quite an inspiring bunch!

So here is our Ghanian team!
