While in Ghana, I will be an exchange student at the University of Ghana at Legon which is just outside of the capitol at Accra. Also, I will be researching an area of development economics while there-- likely in primary education development.
My hope is that this blog will help both me and others understand the problems developing country inhabitants face, the solutions that are being discussed, as well as the steps being taken now to improve the situation of poverty in developing countries. I want to present the thoughts and ideas of the Ghanains I encounter as it relates to their betterment as a nation. If any readers have questions, inquiries, or commments about something on their mind they would like answered, PLEASE comment. I want to be helpful to all those who would like to travel to Africa but just don't have time/resources to do so, and to those who are just curious.
The Ghanains I have met so far are extremely friendly and I am humbled by this. Several have offered to have me over for dinner already and I am excited to meet more of them. So, please read the blog if you'd like and I would love to get comments and questions-- I will do my best to get answers to them. I want to update this at least once per week, hopefully averaging 2 posts per week. I will be in Ghana July 25-December 17 of 2007. Talk to you soon!!
