Dinner with Net Impact Ghana















Tonight we were treated like dignitaries by Net Impact Ghana. We had a lovely multi-course Chinese dinner (apparently there is much Chinese food in Ghana). We met with 7 members of their chapter who worked in different industries from media (one is a host on the Ghanaian equivalent of Love Line- "Between the Sheets") to tourism. They toasted us over champagne and gave us official Ghanaian welcome cloths to wear. The picture is a picture of Juan shaking hands with the President of Net Impact Ghana. There is a lot of potential for collaboration between the chapters in a sister city sort of relationship. It felt very exciting to be starting a partnership. This summer we will be sending MBA students to be TAs in the MDI program in Ghana, and we hope that students from Ghana will make it to the US eventually, although as they reminded us the Visa requirements are a wee bit more stringent.

YAY for Juan Travels!

I wish I could be a contributor to this blog. I'd rant about rush-hour traffic in HellAY.
