Summer in Nungua

We're on our way to Ghana for the summer.

Ghanaians are so upbeat. They are already planning for the World Cup in 2014. The other day a Ghanaian told me that when he was growing up they would use cabbages as soccer balls. The kids had no idea that you were supposed to eat them.

That's all changed now and cabbage stew is a favorite served over yam.

To continue the metaphor, we have a lot on our plate. Dates with Ghanaian and visiting potters, textile enthusiasts, teachers and the Nungua kids.

We'll also be getting ready for the kids 2nd gallery show. This one will be in Philadelphia.

Our first book has gone to press....just a short one and the second longer book is being researched.

More when we come back. We hope you have a great summer.

Remember to be creative!

summer in Ghana

Cross Cultural Collaborative offers many exciting opportunities for people who want to spend their summers in Ghana.

You can volunteer to work with children in a fishing village, take workshops to learn indigenous skills, go on a tour or just relax at our cultural center across the street from the ocean.

Because we are a small, self funded non-profit we ask people to pay for room and board and lessons,etc. The cost is low and the rewards are memorable.

There is a wonderful site where you might find funding. This is a comprehensive, pretty amazing source for funding opportunities and also residencies...in case you don't want one in Ghana!
