Courtney in Gushei, Ghana. A four month volunteer placement through Engineers Without Borders Canada, McGill University chapter. Thursday, July 17, 2008. I have been living in Diare for about 3 weeks now and I am definitely happy with my decision to move out of Gushei and live with a family. Recently, I found a group of people to play soccer with.

Just to refresh your memory, there were 2 reasons I organized this meeting:. Sarah - long term v...

The Adventures Of EWB And Michael Bosompra In Ghana. Michael K. Bosompra in Ghana. June 9, 2009. First Trip Out To The Field. Today was one of my best days at work so far.

The community we were going out to was about 1.5 hours away so we piled into the big white SUV (the epitome of development vehicles) and made our way out there. The pics on the left are the types of latrine...
