Into Africa

I have always been interested in people, cultures, color, fabrics, 
and viewing the world for its unique beauties. 
Two years ago I was able to live in France for a time, 
experiencing a language and culture I have always loved. 
Tomorrow I will start a new adventure in
Accra, Ghana. 
As a "get to know you" question, I used to ask people 
where they would travel
 if someone handed them a ticket to anywhere in the world. 
After Paris, my answer was always "Africa!"
Tomorrow, that wish is coming true. For one month I will be teaching, 
researching, and serving. I will be teaching in the Osu school,
 conducting research on A.I.D.S. awareness, 
and serving and playing with children in a small orphanage. 
For my own record, this blog will serve as a personal journal
 and keepsake of my experiences with the new people, cultures, colors, 
fabrics, and unique gifts my time in Africa will afford me. 
I would love for you to enjoy Africa with me 
SEW...I'll keep you posted~
