2004 Women's African Experience

     Do you enjoy international travel with an educational focus?  Are you interested in traditional living in an African village to study women's issues within a developing country?  Have you always wanted to enjoy an "all women" trip abroad?  Here is your chance to do all of this and more! 

     Dr. Vannetta R. Perry, International Educational Consultant, is offering a two-week experience for women in Ghana, West Africa.  Participants will reside in a rural West African village and take excursions to breathtaking waterfalls, slave trading castles, a wild game park, and a women's fishing cooperative on the Ghanaian coast.  You will learn about women's roles in traditional kente cloth weaving, drum making, batik dying, and other indigenous arts and crafts as well as rural subsistence farming and fishing enterprises.  You will live with a host family in Wusuta, Volta Region, Ghana and experience traditional West African foods, music, crafts, and livelihood. 

     The 2004  Women's African Experience is scheduled March 12-28. The limited space of 14 participants is rapidly filling. Reserve your spot now! 

     The cost is $1500 (includes meals, lodging March 13-27, ground transportation for group travel, traditional African dance and drumming lessons, and entry fee into cultural and natural sites).  Participants are responsible for air fare to Accra, Ghana, international travel insurance, passport and visa, beverages including water (safe bottled water is readily available), passport and visa, inoculations and medications, personal items and gifts. 

     Obtaining two university graduate credit-hours is an available option (additional cost).
