**Video** Accountability and Staying Longer in Ghana



Check out the video above. It's a small story of some vegetable farmers I started working with a year ago. Their attitude towards farming and hard work continues to impress me!

The video was put together for a gala that the EWB chapters in Saskatoon are putting on tonight.

Enjoy!

Cool video! How do you suggest we go about contacting the government? (I admit, I don't usually do that sort of thing...)

If you want to contact the government you can do a couple of things:
<1) Contact your MP.> You can find their number here: http://www2.parl.gc.ca/Parlinfo/Compilations/HouseOfCommons/MemberByPostalCode.aspx?Menu=HOC

<2) Sign the online petition:> http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=1&q=http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/canada-aid-shift&ei=Ug_bSdl_irq1A6HU6dkG&usg=AFQjCNHSU7qyMdI2K3C-icRZXZ0JlyJpcw

Search google and you'll find a bunch of good articles and letters on this issue! Here's a good link: http://my.ewb.ca/home/ShowPost/56650/

Thanks for asking!

Hey Sarah,

Thanks very much for the blog and your amazing contribution to making the world a better place.

Your Ghana experience seems really interesting but as someone who is considering investing in commercial agriculture in Ghana (including tomato's) I have many more questions that I would like to ask.

Could you please send some contact details where I could reach you to lsbannon@yahoo.co.uk?

Thanks again.
