My friend, Kara Hegstrom, is traveling to Ghana this summer to travel and work with an organization called Operation Groundswell. Here is a blurb from her website about what she will be doing: As well as backpacking through much of Ghana, I will be partnering with a few organizations throughout the country to do some volunteering. An important part of my trip is the study of grassroots education in Ghana, something that would be not possible without the invaluable cooperation of several organizations focused on providing access to education. These organizations are especially essential in a country where access to even primary education is not universal. I can't even express how excited I am to have this opportunity; I know that it's going to be life changing in many ways! To get a fundraising point, you need to donate at least $5 and send me a picture of the confirmation page! Kara is trying to fundraise $750. Here is her website page where you can donate: http://fundraising.operationgroundswell.com/karagoestoghana
