Ghana 6


Dancing to the drums around the fire was one of the most memorable and joyful momments of Ghana for me.



Teaching kids to brush their teeth.

Ghana 5







Typical way of carrying babies! Brought home some cloth to make my own!

Washing clothes by hand... don't know how my
mother did this for 5 people. Aaah! These small details in africa reminded me of the luxuries of life and the need to simplify and DOWNSIZE in the clothes department.







When I was told that I would occasionally pee in a slab of cement, I really didn't think it would LITERALLY be a slab of cement. These are typical urinals in Ghana. Sure most of us have had to squat to pee in the bushes, but lets just say that the splashing bussiness is far more intense in one of these things!
