What did I experience during my 2011 trip to Ghana?

In summary, the conversation revolved around a return trip to Ghana and the posting of pictures from a previous trip in 2011. The trip was organized through an organization called Village Volunteers and involved work at a library and secondary school, as well as touring and staying with a host family. The group also encountered village elders and had a rather unfortunate meal of goat meat and fufu. The conversation also included some reactions to the photos and a welcome back message.

Hello all! :smile:

As some of you may know, I recently went on a return trip to Ghana. I also went back in 2011 and never posted any pictures, which I had promised to do :redface: So here in Part 1 I am posting some pictures of my 2011 adventure. I will start a separate thread for my 2013 adventure when I get some more time!

In 2011, my girlfriend and I went to Ghana through an organization called Village Volunteers. We stayed for 6 weeks and did work at a small library and the local secondary school. We stayed on a farm with a host family who we revisited just last month. We also did a lot of touring. Here are some of the things we did.

Finally, some land!
