1. I was in the Peace Corps in Ghana. At a school in Akim Oda. The people were very nice.

7. No, but I went to Africa during college.
I spent a summer out in the bush in Central African Empire working in a dispensary. At the beginning and end of the trip I got to see parts of what was then called Zaire, Tanzania, Uganda, and a couple of weeks in Nairobi, Kenya. Nothing like West Africa, I'm sure. It was the experience of a lifetime, though.

8. Haven't been myself, but I LOVE the pure, unrefined shea butter we get from Ghana
A friend of mine imports 800 lbs every other month into the country through his mission...
