Welcome to Tamale, Ghana, my home away from home. Much of a the city's culture can be learned from an ordinary day. Let's go!

After class, I attend my Literacy Club, where students work on language projects that use reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills
After work, I head to Tamale's vast outdoor market to buy groceries: let's see what we can find!
A man displays sandals of all colors, shapes and sizes in the market
Colorful grains and beans like "bombiga" (black-eyed peas) fill a silver bowl at the market
Waist beads, which many Ghanaian women wear for cultural reasons, dangle from wooden shelves
One market vendor sells locks, ropes, hangers and many other tools
Evening comes whileI am shopping, and I hear the last Muslim calls to prayer echoing through Tamale
I finish my day by planning for tomorrow's lessons and listening to music
