Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

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.
