Are you ghana go my way?

This is my third day in Ghana and so far so good. Although the internet connection is not what we hoped for due to constant power failure I'm having a good time here. Poverty is very evident but it strikes me that people are still very happy and friendly. There's a fund raising show on Swedish TV4 this Friday, and they're actually going to air it from a village nearby here in Ghana. Too bad I'm leaving on Thursday, it would be pretty nice to be in the audience for that show.

There are quite a few people coming and going in the training here, mostly it consists of myself, Mark and Washington. The guys are doing a good job so far.

I talked to the big boss of the plant here today (born in Sicilly and raised in England) and he told me that the beggars are making pretty good money. He also told me about this one beggar that he knows, owns three taxi's here. So while he's begging for money his guys are briniging in additional money with his cars.

It's very clear to me that money is not the top prority when it comes to making the people in Ghana happy, it's more life itself that brings joy. Although the poverty is very evident in certain places, people manages to do the best out of the situation without any whining (as we tend to do in Sweden).
