Ghana is a small country in West Africa located on the Gulf of Guinea. It is bordered by Cote d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, and Togo. It is divided into ten regions. On March 6, 1957, Ghana became the first sub-Saharan Africa country to gain independence. This, combined with its stability since then, have made it a leader amongst African nations and a popular destination for those who want to visit West Africa. People speak the native languages and several dialects of those languages, but English is the official language of Ghana.
Popular destinations in Ghana are the capital city of Accra, the slave castles in Elmina and Cape Coast, Kakum National National Park, and the Mole Game Reserve. Ghana is just a few degrees north of the equator and the climate is tropical. The temperature rarely goes below 70*F or above 90*F year round. April through June tends to be the wettest time of the year and December though February is the dry season. It is still very humid in the dry season, so be prepared!

Arriving at the airport was no problem. The airport is small and easy to navigate, the signs are in English, and you can exchange your dollars for cedis. I, along with fellow volunteers that I met on the airplane, met with our program coordinator, Yao. It was relieving to see him waiting outside for us, since we were a pretty disshelved and antsy group, having just been dropped into a foreign land. We had our first Ghanaian meal - vegetarian fried rice with spicy chili...

A birthday in Ghana is like a birthday in no other place, at least mine wasn't! Most of the volunteers who had arrived at on the same day as me had left, and there was a new batch here, but they were away on the Cape Coast trip I had been on a few weeks earlier. There were three other people at the house: Janelle, Lisa and Yossi. What a party! Since there were so few people, the CCS staff didn't want to cook so we were able to go out for lunch and dinner at local hotels and give CCS the bill!...

We went to Elmina the first day after we arrived in Ghana and spent a
night there. From what I've seen in Ghana and heard of other countries,
Africa's roads leave a lot to be desired. The current Ghanaian
president, John Kufuor,
has made improving the roads one of his major goals. They were working
on fixing the road so it was partly a smooth ride, but there were times
we drove on bumpy unpaved dirt roads. Along the drive, you pass through
villages and police barriers and there is alwa...

So, after my companions left I decided to high-tail it to the Ghana-Cote D'ivior border to begin my journey. I started in Larabanga which is a one car town (and the car doesn't work). I waited at the "crossroads" for a ride from 8 in the morning until 2:30 in the afternoon and not one car passed by. Finally a 20 year old hatchback passed through and for a fee the driver would take myself and 5 other villagers to the next village where I could catch a tro-tro to the border. Reluctantly (since ...
