More News from Ghana -- Y87 Has its First Chief!

I have been following Michael Morand's stream of tweets from Ghana.  Great stuff.  They have had a great time and, it appears, a huge impact.  Although we will wait for a little while for a full report.  Here are some pictures that highlight what they did.  Here are the words of the local chief:  "You have demonstrated the commonalities which bind us together as human beings."


Here is a picture of AYA Director Mark Dollhopf and our own Kathy Edersheim being installed as honorary chiefs.  

Some more pictures from Ghana and the thank you celebration of the YASC team:

I hope this inspires some of our classmates to sign up for the next Yale Alumni Service Corps trips.  The next one is in March to Nicaragua.  After that, YASC is going back to Ghana.  So, please stay tuned
