Last post - a video of pictures from our trip, and an interesting article on caskets in Ghana!

Here are a few last things that are interesting from our trip to Ghana... enjoy!

A big thanks to Kate on our trip for putting the following pictures to music in a video format for us to show at an assembly at our school where we talked about the trip to the student body. Make sure your speakers are turned on!  :)

Also, an interesting thing that we learned while on the trip is that casket-making is a serious business in Ghana.  Often Ghanaians are buried in caskets that are shaped and painted like what their career was in life - for example, a fisherman might be buried in a fish casket, a seamstress in a sewing machine casket, an electrician in a light bulb casket, etc.  We saw a few examples of shops that sold these kinds of unique caskets while driving around the country, but I found the following article on CNN.com when I returned home.  Make sure to click through the pictures in the article!
