Love From Ghana…

I wanted to share a few more images from my two week trip to Ghana. We traveled from the southern most tip to the very tip of the Northern region, from the coast, to the inner city, to the National Parks to the tiniest of villages. To say we had some amazing/CRAZY adventures is an understatement. I miss it already. The ‘point’ of my trip was to take images for Pambe Ghana, I will be working on a new blog and new website so people can REALLY get a feel for Ghana and where these kids come from. Of course, when you do this type of travel the people you meet change YOU way more than you could possibly help them, but after the past month I was leaning on that potential, it was an amazing lesson in letting go. I am so grateful I was able to make the trek. The school was amazing, the kids beautiful, bright, and full of joy. I can’t wait to decorate the new website with their faces. Please go to Pambe Ghana’s website to read about it and make a donation. In the meantime, enjoy just a fraction of my favorite images….

FIRST task – we are looking for 5 laptops, (they can be used -less than 4 years old ideally), for the teachers of the school. If you know anyone interested in donating a PC (i know, it’s blasphemous for me to even utter the word PC) have them email me or post a comment!

In the fall will be having an art show to purchase prints, coffee table books etc etc… much more to come.

Oh yea, I’m the translucent one in the middle ;)






And what’s a Beth Jansen post without a newborn?!?! This little guy was two days old… the available light was awful but they must have known i was coming, they had him wrapped in some SERIOUS color. xoxoxo…..

I very like the second and the picture about the guy who stand before the red door, but i dont want choose favourite, i like all so much. Sorry if i have mistakes in my comment, im learning english. :) Good luck to your new blog. I'll visit it.

June 7, 2010 - 9:49 am Robin Thomas - You have to be one of the most gifted photographers I have ever followed. Makes me wonder what your house looks like, decorating style, not in a creepy way...Thank you for posting your work.

June 7, 2010 - 9:54 am Karmen - AMAZING...in every way.

June 7, 2010 - 9:57 am Kajsa - These are gorgeous. Africa-pics "Beth Jansen" style. I'm sure you "hated" all that color surrounding you ;-). I hope your photographs will bring Pambe Ghana the resources they need to bring schooling to as many children as possible. Next time, plan a longer lay-over in Amsterdam though....
