one cannot truly know her culture unless she leaves it.

alright. so here are the pictures that I’ve been waiting to upload. the first is of a bead market in koforidua. this bead market is widely known to be one of the biggest and best in Ghana, so one day I went with my friend Carolyn to check it out. the second picture is of me doing my laundry at the shelter. let me tell you—-washing machines are a luxury that you never fully appreciate until you have to wash all of your clothes by hand. every time I do it I get cuts on my fingers from scrubbing the clothes. it’s really one of my least favorite parts of life here in Africa :-(. anyway, the third picture is of the farewell dinner that we just had Friday night. from left, it’s melony, me, nan, caroline, Carolyn, and in front is eric. it was actually kind of a sad night for me, because, well, I was the only one not saying farewell. but a memorable night nonetheless.

KATIE!!!

It's amazing reading about your life in Ghana. It looks like things can be really difficult and frustrating, but I really admire you for all of the work you're doing, and your open-mindedness to new situations. Hang in there-- I'm sure you're making a huge difference in your community. IU misses you!

Your long-time buddy,
Anna Saraceno
