Ghana for the summer. Monday, July 20, 2009. Village Stay in Kandiga (part one). When you think of a village in rural. What comes to mind? Stop and think about it for a minute…. Anyways, the home that I stayed in judging by my observations was a little better off than others but not as wealthy as some. The courtyard, I guess you could call it, was concrete instead of earth, they had zinc metal roofing on all the rooms except for the one I slept on, and they have a solar panel:.

Ghana for the summer: Agric as a Business and development
http://brian-ghanaforthesummer.blogspot.com/2009/07/agric-as-business-and-development.html
Ghana for the summer. Monday, July 20, 2009. Agric as a Business and development. This is one of the things I’m struggling with. Where’s the balance between pragmatic and appropriate, or participatory and teaching? Maybe those aren’t good words to describe the situation, but I think you get the point. Another factor could be farmers paying lip service to please the AEA who gives them fertilizer coupons that reduce the cost of a bag of fertilizer by about half. The Kakungu Farmer's Association. Village St...

Ghana for the summer. Monday, July 20, 2009. Children of the Street. Children of the Street. Published in The Daily Graphic. July 19, 2009). Hear now, the voice of the voiceless,. Of us, who have no representatives. We are the children of the street. With nothing but dust to eat. Policies have promised to save us. But instead like maladies,. We are stuck in the abyss of hopelessness. Education is alien to our world. For though we have heard of rights,. They are meant for the bright. We may not have homes,.

Ghanaian Al-Hassan: May 2006
http://ghanaiankyle.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Kyle Baptista's 2006 JFID in Ghana. In Damongo, rains have threatened us for a few days. Large, perilous storms which seem certain to hit veer away from us at the last minute. There is a system to these storms that anyone can use to detect their occurrence minutes before they start (besides from looking at the clouds, of course):. Posted by Kyle at 06:05. We borrowed a truck from the MoFA office and transported my mattress from the Shangrila to my new home. We were greeted by all of the neighbors as ...

Ghanaian Al-Hassan: June 2006
http://ghanaiankyle.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Kyle Baptista's 2006 JFID in Ghana. Ghanaians can hardly believe what they have witnessed; Ghana is ranked #48 in the world against the #2 Czechs. After the first goal, almost everyone in town crowds around the few stores which have televisions. Ghana's national broadcaster, GTV, can be picked up by any antennae, making it very easy to receive the signals live from Germany. I hope you will join me in cheering on Ghana in the FIFA World Cup for the remainder of the tournament. Posted by Kyle at 10:11.

Kyle Baptista's 2006 JFID in Ghana.
