Andy, Glad to know that you are visiting Ghana soon. My organization is looking into the viability of VoIP in African countries as another means of contributing towards the socio-economic development of African countries. Could you please find out what the Ghanaian government's policy on VoIP use in Ghana is? I hope there would be some DDN members to feed you with a lot more info. Thanks! Living in Petriensa will present you the opportunity of life in rural Ghana as against Accra or Kumasi. Kumasi, the second biggest city after Accra, is also the cultural center of Ghana and visiting there, and may be meeting with the Asantehene, the great king of the Ashanti Kingdom, will provide you another life time experience. Since it's just about 40 minutes from Petriensa, I hope your host, Dr. Osei Darkwa will arrange for that visit if at all possible. Till then we would be awaiting your safe return and a good report. Have fun and enjoy your trip! Prince M. Obiri-Mainoo Executive Director National Africa Foundation http://www.nationalafricafoundation.org [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'll be splitting most of my time between Accra and Patriensa, with a possible visit to Kumasi as well. I don't have my full itinerary yet, but I'm hoping I'll have some free time to get together with local DDN members if anyone would like to say hello in person. So if you're in Ghana, please send me an email off-list so we can see if we can meet up during my visit. thanks, ac -- ----------------------------------- Andy Carvin Program Director EDC Center for Media & Community acarvin @ edc . org http://www.digitaldivide.net http://www.tsunami-info.org Blog: http://www.andycarvin.com ----------------------------------- _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
