Merry Christmas from Ghana!

I took this sweet vid of some school children practicing Christmas songs. I think it's such an appropriate image of Christmas: endearing little voices in Africa singing about the birth of the Savior of the world, asking us all to adore Him.

Merry Christmas!

I also spent some time in Ghana, (I lived in an area called Pig Farm in Accra) but I was wondering if you had any recipes for fufu, jollof, or red red.. if so, could you email them to me at jaceburgess@gmail.com? if so that would be super. I miss that stuff..; January 5, 2010 at 10:47 AM
