News from Africa

One of my good friends from high school is on student exchange in Ghana. This was her reaction to my postcard:

Awesome postcard.  I'm all for it.  I have firsthand accounts of
that stuff.  It's terrible, and it's incredibly overlooked,
especially in Africa.  There are villages in Ghana that have
just one well, and it's next to the pit that everyone uses
as a toilet.  I know it's worse in other countries, but it's
still not good.  What's more, there are no waste disposal
plants.  In Accra maybe, but definitely not in Ho, even though
it's the capital of the Volta Region.  So all the trash either
goes in the gutter or it gets burnt.  It's terrible.  I want
to cry every time I see a burning pile of trash.  And the
river that goes through Accra... I've never seen more rubbish
in a river. Ugh.  But I'm making myself sad.  So I'm gonna
stop.  But awesome postcard.  I love the design.
