V-Day

It's Valentine's Day and some of the street sellers around the city have plastic roses and chocolate for sale.  I bought a variety of chocolate for the two women in the office but they have not come in yet.  The bars say 100% Ghanian cocoa (the major export here, together with gold and oil), so I looking forward to a taste.

The director of the community center in Old Fadama took pictures of the mediations I wrote about yesterday and I just learned he published them on Facebook.  I am reprinting them here.  His Facebook page is "Fadama Legal Assistance Project - FLAP" and has pictures of my group at work in the slum on various projects.

I also now have a picture of the building where I am working out of.  We have the whole second floor.  This is a quiet side street and you still see selling, although these are some of the nicer style of shops.  The one on the right is a bar that I have never any one go into and the one on the left is a store that sells all kinds of products appealing to woman, offers a laundry service, sells snacks, and I think does women's hair.  This is a corner lot and the building on the right are more small shops facing the cross street.
