What in the world is Jesse doing in Ghana?

That is a good question. I am being sponsored by an organization called "The American Jewish World Service" ("AJWS"). Their website is www.ajws.org. AJWS has partnered me with a local NGO called "The Development Institute." Their website is www.thedevin.org.

The Development Institute needs someone to act as a legal adviser (of sorts) on three projects: one that deals with dispute resolution, another that deals with "youth development" and a third that deals with squatters rights. That should tell you what I am supposed to be doing. However, when one works in the developing world, there is often a gap between what you are supposed to be doing and what you are actually doing. That gap should make for some interesting reading. So check back soon.
