3 More Weeks, For 3 Weeks
I remember a few weeks back when I put that timer on my webpage... Never thought the day would come. Well, the day hasn't come yet, but it's now 3 weeks until I go to Ghana for 3 weeks.
Conversations about my African experience, life, politics, economics, entrepreneurship, and everything else my voice has to offer… disguised as a collection of blog posts.

Lately, on the Africa team at Kiva.org, I have been involved in a enlightening conversation with other lenders about such topics as high interest rates for entrepreneurs borrowing from Kiva field partners (lender organizations) to how Americans can learn more about Africa. I just thought I'd fill y'all in.
That's right! I bought my ticket. And for a whole lotta money, you too can travel to Africa. Actually, I benefitted. My last trip to Ghana to study abroad, I paid around $1,500 flying British Airways. Other students paid more... because they weren't a G like me.
Oh, Bama visits Ghana today for them, tomorrow for me and all I can do is... well, nothing. So, I am scrolling through the reactions on BBC news to the upcoming Obama landing, and well, can't seem to find an American who's interested. Well, so far there are some people in America that are interested. But, it seems, like always, that we here care about more pressing matters, like America's Got Talent.
