Ghana soccer journey
So I flew with my grandchild from Atlanta to NYC to Accra, Ghana, arriving yesterday. He is embarking on a new phase of his young life: a study & soccer abroad journey!
He is being hosted by chosen Accra family that has deep connections in Atlanta and San Francisco.
It was a 10 hour flight from JFK to Accra with two meals, so we arrived full and ready. The process to get the visa on arrival was very easy, took maybe 20 minutes, and we were out onto the street.
Everyone has been sooooo very kind and accomodating, including cooking a delicious real Ghanian meal, which I devoured, as did Mujasi. Tomorrow, we're getting the tour of a couple of soccer stadiums - apparently there are two here in Accra - and I don't know what else.
I'll probably stay for a week or so and then return to my life on the road in my RRB while Mujasi begins his life here.

Hello Xan! First of, congratulations to your grandson in starting such an exciting journey, blessing to him on his journey. Wishing you a safe flight and blessings as you head back to your life traveling. Secondly, my name is Joey and I am working at the Imperial Valley LGBT Resource Center in El Centro. I found your book "But What Can I Do?" and I am amazed and in awe. I love it and will continue reading it in the next few days. I often feel alone in my journey through resistance and social justice but your words have once again sparked the fire in my heart and feet to keep moving towards a brighter future for my self, my community and my country. Warm hugs :)
