Summer 2021 Update

Summer 2021 Update

The last two years have been a turbulent time. The COVID pandemic changed how we could meet and plan, forcing meetings to become hybrid or virtual. This isolation also prevented us from sending a travel team to Ullo, meaning we haven’t been present physically since winter 2019. However, thanks to our partnership with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and Self Help […]

Night Shenanigans

Night Shenanigans

Our time in Ullo started in the night. After multiple days of traveling and only interacting with the travel team members and Zack, I was not expecting the excitement that we arrived to. As our van started down the main road of Ullo, children started running after us, one by one, and surrounding the vehicle as we took our first steps in the community that […]

Food in Ghana

Food in Ghana

When in Ullo the travel team was spoiled with Memena’s cooking. Memena is a daughter of the chief and lives in Accra. She travels north to Ullo every winter to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for the ISU-EWB travel team. Ghanaian food consists mainly of starches and chicken. A rice dish is typical at every meal, with jollof being the most common. Jollof is a […]

Returning to Ullo

Returning to Ullo

Being a member of the travel team to Ullo is a once in a lifetime opportunity; I was  fortunate enough to experience it twice, as a part of two travel teams. Still, each experience was a unique and remarkable adventure. I have spent a lot of time in Ghana, I have seen a lot, and I will never forget the things I have learned. As […]

Journey Across the Ghanaian Countryside

Journey Across the Ghanaian Countryside

From Accra to Ullo Ghana is about the size of Minnesota and, as a person who has driven the length of both, I can tell you besides their size, they don’t have a lot in common. Especially in December. When  landed in Accra, Ghana, it was 8 am local time, so we had a full day ahead. The warmth and sunshine of the tropical, coastal […]

After the travel team left Ullo, they met […]

Needs or wants?

So… Uh.. No toilet paper? Upon arrival to Ghana, I quickly learned not to expect there to be toilet paper in public toilets.  Still, I was surprised when I went to use the bathroom on the flight from Tamale back to Wa and there was none.  That was one place I was really expecting to find toilet paper. No, this isn’t a chronicle of my […]
