Akwaba, Friends!

Welcome to my my blog, where I'll keep a live journal from Accra, Ghana in West Africa. I'll be living in Accra for six weeks with a group of 12 students from the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication. We'll all share one large house and together, learn about the culture in which we'll be immersed. While there, I'll be completing two weeks of classes at the University of Ghana's East Legon campus. I'll spend all six weeks interning for Abantu for Development (http://www.abantu-rowa.org/). I don't really know what to expect, but I already know I can't wait to go back!

John Denver in Ghana

Ok, guys, this is really it--my last post from Ghana. I'm sorry it's not longer, but I'm running out of minutes at the cafe. I don't know how often I'll be able to post from Europe, but I'll try!

I leave tonight at 9am, leaving the dust and sweat of the last six weeks behind. All I can think of is that John Denver song: "I'm leavin' on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again...". The one thing I do know, though, is that I'll definitely be back.
