9 More Days!
9 More days before leaving for Ghana to talk with women about household food insecurity. I still have to get malaria medication and various items necessary to be healthy while living in Ghana's rural area. Talking with women is like talking with the entire family because they are the ones who are responsible for the meals in the family.

10 More Days
Wow, it is literally count down to Ghana. I am now trying to figure out how to get my malaria medication. I finally got my prescription on last Friday. I have to start taking it on this Wednesday and it is so so expensive. Any ideas?

Shirley Sherrod Speaks
Shirley Sherrod was the keynote speaker tonight at the Summit in Tallahassee.
She decided to stay in the south to work for change.
She works on issues related to rural development.
She works on bringing women back to agriculture and is working with women in the rural areas.
She says that people can take a small acreage of land and make a lot of money.
Working together and sharing expertise is the way forward.
We must think differently.

Guess What Happened Today?
Rita Marley! Yes, I got a spirit inspiration to contact Rita Marley. I found out
that she has a foundation that does a whole lot of work in the area of food and
nutrition. So, now I have people out there trying to put me in touch with her.
Do you have any ideas on how I can get in touch with her? I want to sit down with her and talk about Project FOOD's global partnership and collaboration work. Let me know!
She is really doing some great work check her out http://www.ritamarleyfoundation.org/

Guess What Happened Today!
Today I received an email from my mentor who helped me with my health disparities study in Ghana, he is the Registrar/CEO of the Traditional and Alternative Medicine Practice Council, an Agency of the Ministry of Health of Ghana. Well, he has just been enstooled as a traditional ruler in the Volta Region. His name is Torgbui Yaka, IV. He welcomed this food insecurity project to Ghana. See his photo. Congratulations to the Honorable Torgbui Yaka, IV and thank you for standing and being a partner in this important Project!
