We began with cultural training with Albie and Rose discussing the economy of Ghana, its history, the health care system, neo-colonialism, education, and current problems that the Ghanians are facing. Next we are able to visit the tomb of the first President of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, where we toured the museum and its grounds and learned about Ghana\u2019s efforts to unite all African nations and met the possible next president \u201cYo.\u201d Nkrumah\u2019s tomb is a popular destination for weddings and wedding photography sessions.

Don\u2019t be fooled by the name; we had authentic Ghanian food. Next we drove to the University of Ghana and were able to stop at the highest point of Accra where we could overlook the city.  Rose and Albie then took us to a dance class with a group of students from Cal State University where we learned to dance, sing, and play the flute.  And lastly, we took our first taxi ride from the University back to the hotel.<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ghana7.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/forum.belmont.edu\/health\/CHSimages\/Ghana7.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"242\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2011 Mission to Ghana from Sarahann Callaway, Mollie Carver and Hannah Peck, 3rd year PT students Today was a very educational day in Ghana.
