keep the good work I am from Ghana , but in the US right now and what you are doing brining awareness to this problem is really great. Keep up the good work.
In spain... at football games, everyone pays 50 euro for tickets and smokes cigarette after cigarette until the game is over. At half time, 70,000 people take out bocadillos (snadwhiches) from home and eat them. They also don't sell alcohol at the game, but every single peson has a non alcoholic beer in hand. Thanks for the stories. I enjoy them thoroughly.
Merry Xmas Everyone! Great poem! It made me laugh and miss home at the same time. Your Peter Mansbridge angel is quite lovely.
Great to hear that Shawn is doing so well, and his beard looks handsome!
I'm very sorry that we're going to miss you in Tamale for the holidays! We'll have make it up in February! I hope Burkina is terrific...
Kevin.
Merry Christmas!!! I love it... strangely a message written from ghana is making me nostalgic for Regina. How do you do it? Good Luck in Burkino Fasa and stay safe.
Greetings from Spain Hey Nichole, I finally discovered that you have a blog. I am excited to read about your work and adventures. Sounds like the work you are doing is important and I am sure you are learning lots. You are amazing. Life in Spain is pretty good, though I am very busy teaching. I am actually teaching a highschool journalism class along with my Drama and English classes. Spanish kids are loud, but fairly harmless. When I get more time I will sit down and properly catch up on your blogs as I am addicted to reading travel blogs. Much love to you and Sean. Merry Christmas!
Brave Nice to see you online and hope to see you in Thailand again. Do you have a nice trip? I don't have any special comment but just happy to see you in Travelblog.
thanks for article on Kayayoo Hi
Thanks for hearing my question re how do girls/women live in Ghana. I am working with some women to build confidence/ empower women here in rural Sask. We have internalized the core beleifs of society so much that we beleive them to be true. I wonder if this would also be true for women in Ghana? E.g promoting virgin power but not encouraging the women to use their own power to ask for what they need-even as I write this I cam imagine the resistance to this from women. I was pleased to hear about women helping women- this is key here too. Often women put other women down rather than encourage. Thanks. is there any way we could help these centres that teach skills to the girls known as Kayayoo???
Wow Nichole. Your photos are gorgeous. Keep sending updates. Tales of hot and dry are much needed. The malaria not so much. Glad to hear Shawn recovered.
Peace and papaya-o-laterns,
Vicki
