Adventures in Ghanaland

Akwaaba (Welcome)!

Aqiyla here! Starting on December 10, 2010, I will be traveling to Hohoe, Ghana in the Volta region to intern & conduct some field research on child & youth programs through Cross Cultural Solutions.

My research question: How do Ghanaian and NC-based youth organizations compare/contrast when engaging youth in programs designed for them?

I will be returning on January 15, 2011, so my entire Winter break will be spent abroad in the beautiful & warm Ghana(land)! I'm going to try and post at least once a week while there...but, we'll see. :)


Q&A from Ghana. Ask anything.   Share stories, articles, & links w/ me
