Making a connection with Ashesi University

We are making visits to many locations, the conference will begin on Monday. There is a lot of work to do, but we aren't sure what the nature of it all will be. So, we make our visits and we wait for the next task. Lauren has told you a bit about our visit to Ashesi University and the students. I can also say I was impressed with the interaction of the students and the enthusiaum they so in the classroom.
I meet with the Director of Admissions and a member of the faculty to discuss the possibility of an exchange agreement with VWC. The Academic Dean was not available, so I am looking forward to a call so that I can tour more of the campus and continue the discussion.
It will take a very special student to come to Ghana. Ghana is not like the USA things are not always convenient. Every thing takes longer than you think it will take. Many things are not what we would consider modern in the USA. If you want it done your way GHANA is not the place for you.
If you want to learn about African culture, to experience the culture, the people the food, and aspects of American culture, if you are flexible then GHANA may be for you. I want to come back. It is expensive, but I would welcome the opportunity to come and teach in one of the primary schools.
Think about GHANA....if you want to learn more visit www.ghana.com
