Independence Day in Ghana.

Helping to celebrate Independence Day in Ghana (1957), wearing my tie in Ghana's colors and enjoying a moment with our Ghanaian elephant "Kwabene" (from Habitat for Humanity). "On this day in 1957, Ghana became the first African country south of the Sahara to gain independence from colonial rule. As the first for the region, Ghana and its independence movement catalyzed independence movements in other African countries." (Google) Google® has a special doodle for this day. The tie was brought back to me by my friend Beth Blanchard after a short term mission trip in 2007. And yesterday was Beth Blanchard's birthday!
