Hi, Bryant here with an update on Dorothy's escapades.
I spoke to Dorothy last Saturday and she is doing well. She was visiting the village where she will beliving and working, beginning in two weeks. She was happy with the living conditions there and thinks they are much better than where she has been staying. She has two rooms in a nice, clean guesthouse. There are separate kitchen, outhouse and shower buildings, but they are all fairly new and nicely maintained. She will be working on a project at a coco plantation near Adjeikrom (I hope that's right) in the Fanteakwa district in Ghana's Eastern Region It's a ecotourism project started by Cabury-Schwepps, Earthwatch and a Ghanian nonprofit organization. If you google Earthwatch Ghana or Cadbury ecotourism or any combination, you should be able to find out about this project and maybe see some pictures of the village. It sounds like Cadbury buillt a nice visitor center and the guest house, left the keys and said see ya! Dorothy will be working with employees of a non profit organization and with Earthwatch volunteers to make it a working tourist attraction. This may involve getting local crafters to give examples of their work and, of course, selling it.
There is no electricity at her end of the village yet, but the Chief has electricity at his house and he will provide a room for Dorothy to work in at "The Palace". She likes the people she will be working with and is anxious to get started after all the moving around she has done during training. It will also be nice to have her own home after living with host families for so many weeks.
