Lauren Gaw, Brandeis University

I have been having a very successful time here in Ghana. At this point I feel pretty well adjusted to the culture. I have really enjoyed getting to know my way around the rural villages that surround our house at the Asuansi Farm Institute. I have been working on finding out the Asebu community's needs and wants for the upcoming demonstration farm. This past Wednesday I visited all of the schools in the village in order to gauge students' interests in farming. I also had a very sucessful meeting this morning with a professor here in Kumasi where the group has come for a few days. I am excited to get back to the slow pace of village life tomorrow and can't wait for what comes next!
