Have you ever wondered how a family in the 21st century can possibly live on $400/year? Can you imagine carrying all your water for cooking and bathing in a basin on your head, living in a mud room with a thatched roof, and having no access to electricity or a gas vehicle? Meet these people and learn about their lives.
The Gone to Ghana Calendar for 2011 is the result of months spent in villages along the back roads of Ghana, West Africa. Our goal is to give John Q. Public a front row seat in learning about the life of rural Ghanaians. What better way to learn than by provocative photography and insightful journalism on topics from marriage and livelihood to food supply and transportation.
This is an 11″ x 8 1/2″ wall calendar, each unique photo includes supporting text to add further ‘life’ to the West African scene.
The calendar sales and related donations serve as our primary fund raising event for providing food staples for the Guanwarre School lunch program and an infant/toddler nutrition center, both in northern Ghana. Purchasing the food staples for the coming year are underway with fellow volunteers Marilyn and Lou Schuster now in Ghana (their second trip as volunteers to this area) for a one month stay. David and Lisa will be in Ghana the following fall (2011) to do more food purchases and continue their ongoing projects in education and medicine.
All of the money received for calendars goes directly to purchase food staples at Ghanaian open air village markets, as well as printing of the calendars. The Schusters, and Lisa and David, cover all of their own costs in visiting Ghana – airfare, lodging, food, and transportation. The graphic design and editing services for the calendar are also donated.
Please realize that your purchase and/or donation has significant impact on hundreds of rural Ghanaian families. We truly appreciate your support for a cause close to our hearts. Calendars available for immediate shipping.
Warm Regards, Lisa and David
