GHANA

I was skeptical about this trip at first but, I'm so happy that I took a chance and gained the best occupational therapy experience thus far.  I figure I won't be able to see everyone and fully explain my experience and I figure I should be documenting my travel experiences before I forget. Sorry some of the pictures are out of order.

Here we go!

I learned so much from being in Ghana. I love their culture, people and energy. I'm so glad i chose USC and OT or else I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity and inspiration. I'll post istanbul pictures next!
