The not-so-profound chronicles of a summer spent in Ghana, working with the district government assembly and Engineers Without Borders. Thursday, July 22, 2010. The Modernization and Amenities of Kpandai. She was right. The next day I went family-hunting and by the end of the week had moved into a wonderful compound. Like a thug), at the same monkey when it returned a few minutes later was priceless. I do hope, however, that you have a better understanding of my life as a Junior Fellow here in Ghana.

The Lion's Story. Chronicling my Summer in Malawi. As the title of the blog suggests, this blog is all about telling the lion’s side of the story. I was touched by the Ghanaian proverb. Gnatola ma no kpon sia, eyenabe adelan to kpo mi sena. From ewe-mina meaning “Until the lion has his or her own storyteller, the hunter will always have the best part of the story” a few years ago and created the blog to relate my experience living the other side of the story of development. 3 responses to this post.
