Three months in Ghana, West Africa with the Geekcorps, a non-profit organization that sends folks with high tech skills to developing countries to share said skills.

This is a collection of the little web newsletter that I put together on an irregular basis for family, friends and others interested in just what the heck we were doing in Ghana!

You might also want to check out a site I created when I got home: West African Adinkra Symbols. I included a few of these symbols in my dispatches, as you can see below.
