Day 4: Snappy-oh! | In search of the Blue Direction

https://thresholdofharmony.wordpress.com/2011/09/25/day-4-snappy-oh

At the threshold of harmony. In search of the Blue Direction. I’m just locked out of my home, so I thought of posting a new blog while waiting to get in, somehow. As I wrote in my last post, I decided to keep on posting my Ghana notes now that I’m back in Toronto and have access to high speed internet! I thought I’d pick things up where I left off: Village stay. The Day 4 post is a pictorial account of my village stay. Attempts at learning how to weed. An absolutely delicious meal was being prepared there.

Let's Go Black Stars!: Processing Power

http://danielainghana.blogspot.com/2011/07/processing-power.html

Let's Go Black Stars! Friday, 15 July 2011. Yesterday I talked with my friend who in a post-harvest processing engineer about how processing “adds value”. When you do. Something to your crop, your profit theoretically is greater. You charge for the work and resources it takes to change the product. What’s more expensive? Fresh tomatoes, or tomato paste? The tomato paste right? Why isn’t there more processing? Why is processing and industrialization not encouraged? DANIELA’S BLOG CHALLENGE NUMBER 5. This ...

No fat people shirts | chasing questions

https://chasingquestions.wordpress.com/2012/06/07/no-fat-people-shirts

About Agriculture Extension in Ghana. The Definition of Productivity. Chasing the light North →. No fat people shirts. June 7, 2012. Now, to be honest, I have never considered myself fat. Maybe on the heavier side, sometimes happier than others about my weight, but not fat. Was I ever wrong. At least in a Ghanaian sense. Besides the frequent observations of my fatness (detailed here. I discovered early on how difficult it might be procuring additional western-style clothing for someone of my bulk. Click ...

Bad Wife | Jenn in Ghana

Where ever you go, go with all your heart -Confucius. Two Shots →. And biscuits but when I told him that he wasn’t pleased and organized to get a truck to take me into Tamale today (even though it’s a holiday! To get some cooking supplies. During the ride I was talking to my friend Napari the driver and he asked if I was married (super common question) I told him I wasn’t because I can’t cook so I would be a bad wife. He was SHOCKED to hear that I couldn’t cook! Posted by Jennifer Nowoselski. You are com...

Planes, Trains and Automobiles | Jenn in Ghana

https://jenninghana.wordpress.com/2011/05/18/planes-trains-and-automobiles

Where ever you go, go with all your heart -Confucius. Planes, Trains and Automobiles. I have spent the last 72 hours finding my way to Northern Ghana. I can’t believe how much has already happened and I haven’t even started work yet! Leaving Toronto, one of the group members wasn’t able to travel through the United States because she has a passport from Iran. I thought this was absolutely ridiculous but in the end she made it to Accra, Ghana before we did! And buy Milka chocolate in Frankfurt. Leave a Re...

Fish | Jenn in Ghana

https://jenninghana.wordpress.com/2011/05/23/fish

Where ever you go, go with all your heart -Confucius. Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Bad Wife →. I know this may sound a bit crazy but I have a pretty intense fear of fish. It’s completely irrational and I have no idea where it comes from, it just exists. Somehow, I managed to avoid eating fish during all my travels but in Ghana it seems this is impossible! There is fish EVERYWHERE and I’m not talking about fish sticks or filets I’m talking about straight up fish, nothing removed, grilled on both sides!

What does complexity mean? | chasing questions

About Agriculture Extension in Ghana. Somehow I’m terrified. The importance of graphing calculators (and technological literacy, among other things) →. What does complexity mean? May 8, 2012. As funny as this is, it’s simple for us to recognise that it’s also a bit ridiculous. Ghana is a place where this hand-powered sewing machine works alongside stunning runway-quality Ghanaian fashion (pictures from Alex Fox’s Poia di Zorra. This is some of the nuance and complexity I try to explain when I talk about ...
