A video I made for an NGO in Ghana that helps a community of basket weavers of Bolgatanga, Ghana. Here’s the link:
The basket weavers in Bolgatanga in the far north of Ghana are renowned for the beauty of their baskets. However, as many of them age, eye conditions rob them of their sight and their ability to continue their livelihood making baskets.
On this day, thanks to a pair of charitable organizations, many of the basket weavers got their sight, and their lives, back.
Even though Tamale is Ghana’s northern capital, it often gets overlooked as people breeze through to get to Mole National Park. In this video I cover all of the coolness waiting for visitors in this vibrant city.

While Tamale is Ghana’s 3rd largest city, there’s still a lot of tradition here. For an expat, life in Tamale is a very interesting mix of modern and traditional, and the people here are awesome.
