Village stay: day 1. Village stay: day 2. Wednesday, 10 August 2011. Village Stay: Day 1. I woke up the next morning and went outside. The family greeted me and Paul told me that he was going to Kpandai and would be back in an hour or so. A small group of farmers gathered in the compound, each greeting me as they arrived. Anyway, the farmers told me that they were going to farm, and asked me if I would come with them. I said that yes, I would come later. They chuckled. I had some porridge for...There wer...

Weekly update (july 11-17). Village stay: day 2. Village stay: day 1. Monday, 8 August 2011. EWB prides itself on putting the needs of the beneficiaries ahead of the demands of donors. In order to stay connected to said beneficiaries, volunteers are expected to go on ‘village stays’ several days to a week or so in a village to see what life is like in the village, and get to know some of the rural, small-scale farmers and villagers. You don't have to go far for a new experience. 8221; (“Asun de? 8221;, a...

Mangos and Subsidies | DavidsGhanaway

https://davidsghanaway.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/mangos-and-subsidies

What I did last Thursday. In Seven Days →. July 31, 2012 · 12:02 am. In the late 1990’s, a Dutch businessman saw a market opportunity for organic mangos in the EU. Given his strong connections to the Ghanaian agricultural industry, he hired a few mango experts to assess the viability of growing mangos in the Northern Region of Ghana. To that point, mangos were primarily grown in southern Ghana, and those trees had no organic certification. It turns out that Kent trees weren’t suitable for the clima...

Weekly update (july 4 – 9). Weekly update (july 11-17). Digging deeper into WatSan. Friday, 15 July 2011. 1 Buya’s Water Board a no-show. 2 The case of the baffling borehole placement. On the way to the next village, we made a stop at a new borehole site. Jama Nkwanta's new borehole all that's missing is the pump. Then it gets worse. The people of Buya won’t allow any of the neighboring communities to use their borehole. Even though it’s quite close to Nchaponi and Binalob, they both ...Granted, it&#8217...

My Summer Plans | DavidsGhanaway

https://davidsghanaway.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/my-summer-plans

4 Months In Review. When the Sun Sets in Gushie … →. May 22, 2012 · 11:01 am. I have written and re-written the beginning of this blog post several times now. What keeps happening is that I start off by describing my location, but then get interrupted and do not resume my work until I’m in a different location. My solution from here on in is to let you know when I write each post, and then you can guess whether I’m still in that location or not when my writings get posted. In order to ensure the farmers ...

When the Sun Sets in Gushie … | DavidsGhanaway

https://davidsghanaway.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/when-the-sun-sets-in-gushie-11

May 25, 2012 · 1:15 pm. When the Sun Sets in Gushie …. 8230; the streetlights do not come on. In the village of Gushie, there is no electricity. When the sun sets, it gets really dark. The only things that are visible between 7:30 pm and the wee hours of the morning are flashlights going around town and headlights from passing trucks and vehicles. If it’s stormy out, the odd lightning bolt might light up the area for a moment, but that is a brief moment. The roadside shops seem to be running before the s...
