You must greet elders in a certain way or you will never be able to do any type of work in a Dgomba village. Whenever an elder passes, you must stop and greet.
Dasooba good morning, Anteerie Good afternoon or Anoolah good evening. If you do not do this, the gate will not open for you.
I did meet and greet the gatekeeper for the Sanerigu village today. the response will be Na or Alafia! See you soon!

I Made It To Tamale
What an experience to get to the Northern Region of Ghana. No it has not been easy, it has been filled with experiences. I am meeting and interacting with some great people who are all about connecting with the global universe. Today I went to the village I will work in Sanerigu home of the Dgomba people. I met the leader of one of the women's group whom I will work with starting tomorrow, can you believe it. I saw how they make the shea butter soap and the process of preparing rice for consumption. More later. Sorry no photo today hopefully tomorrow when I am more settled in where I will stay.

Independence Day in Ghana
Today is Sunday, my mother's birthday and Independence day in Ghana. We are reminded of something that Kwame Nkrumah said, "Forward Ever Backward Never!"
Independence Day in Ghana
Trying to get to know the contextual reality of Ghana. Today was independence day. 54 years ago Ghana took their freedom from colonization. Today the President dedicated independence day to honor the youth. He told them that displine and hard work will get them ready to take over and lead the nation!
Boti Water Falls
On Saturday I travelled with a group of educators from Florida to the Eastern Region of Ghana to visit a place called the Boti Water Falls. It was a beautiful experience in the mountains with the water falls and people from all over who come to visit the falls.
