For four weeks in June and July, 2009, 10 young women and two teachers from the Loretto Community will travel to Ghana to work with the FST Sisters, a local Ghanaian order working in educational projects in the Kumasi region. The group will do 12 days of community service in both rural and urban schools, will spend two weeks in home stay with Ghanaian families, and will explore noteworthy cultural, natural and historical sites in the country.
"We journalists tend to cover Africa in stark and simple contrasts, but countries live and grow and falter in grays. [Instead we should develop] reliance on shading and nuance, on the recognition that the world does not have to feel sorry for Africa to care about it."
