Burt's work...

Burt started his project at the West African Trade Hub.
It's about a 15 min. bike ride from the Guesthouse that we are staying in...

weekend in Ada Foah...

Our adventure to Ada Foah involved 3 modes of transportation...Tro-tro. Motorbike. Walking.

All of the proceeds from this beach 'resort' go to support the school in this fishing community...

We went fishing for Barracuda. Sadly. No fish were caught...

 ...but, we bought fresh oysters to eat in a stew later that night...delicious...

We also relaxed and hung out on the beach...

 Some of the local kids from the school taught us how to do a traditional African dance...

This is Genevieve. She made this dress for Katie...

This is the factory for a woman who started her clothing company with one sewing machine. This sewing machine was the traditional gift given to a bride 40 years ago, and she decided she would put it to good use...

This woman started her decor business in her home. She now exports to the US and Europe...

This is Leena. She works with the business network we partnered with and helped set up all of our interviews...
