Akwaaba! I'm Padma Mana, and I visited Ghana this summer on the Ghana: Discovering the Truth about Africa's Past Program. The program studied the Slave Trade and contemporary West African society, but I got this and so much more out of the experience. An African Proverb states that "She who learns, teaches." Of course, nothing can supplement the learning experience of traveling abroad, but hopefully you can glean a shadow of the perceptions I perceived while in Ghana from my accounts below. Thankyou, or as Ghanaians would say, Medaasi!

A Suggestion in Hindsight

So...

Back in the US, I must make a confession.

We only had wi-fi in Accra while we were in Ghana, so this blog isn't the traditional blog in that sense: I kept a journal during the entirety of our trip, and that was the content for this blog, which I've made upon arrival back to the States.

Nevertheless, the dates and locations are all accurate from my entries. I personally feel that two of my entries capture the essence of the trip:
  • Day 14: Reminiscing in Accra
  • Day 8: Calm in Kumasi
These relate to the two major themes of the trip that I profoundly felt, so if you only have time to read a bit, read those two :)

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy!
Padma
