Here we go....
Hello! My name is Holly Thomas and I am on the verge of embarking on a life changing experience. I will be traveling to Africa to educate the children of Ghana for three weeks. I am extremely excited to learn from the people of Ghana and to emerge myself in their culture. I am hoping that this blog will bring my experience to the people in my community and inspire them to give locally or globally.
Please follow me on my adventure.

This is her home. Her door is in the middle.
This is Unis' daughter.
There were dogs all over many of them looked like this little guy. The camera made him very nervous.

On our welcoming night we were able to watch the traditional dances of the people from the area. This was a group that performs at funerals and other events. They were amazing! We also got to dance with them. Along with the dancing they also had some tremendous drummers. Give a listen:
These gals were taking a break.
This is a photo of the gutter at the market. The streets are lined with them. Some cleaner than others.
This was on our walk back to base. Many of the roads in Hohoe were not as nicely paved as this one. Goats roam all over the place.
