In Ghana!
We have been in Ghana for about 5 days now and we are serving and learning a great deal! Matt and Varun will hopefully be gathering reflections from us throughout the trip and helping us post and send email updates during our time here. Thanks to everyone for their support, as everything we've worked towards during the year is now coming to pass. More updates to come.

Thoughts on the "brain drain"
First of all, thanks to all who came to the fundraising dinner on Saturday night! We had a great time and hope that you did as well. Thanks also to Dr. Ansa for delivering an excellent keynote address.
I wanted to offer some thoughts on the so-called "brain drain," which we began discussing a little bit at the dinner during Dr. Ansa's Q&A. As a disclaimer, I'm not an expert on this issue, nor have I done any research on the topic. Allison and I have, though, had a few first-hand discussions about the topic during our time in Ghana.
For those who were not present at the dinner, I'll give a little background. "Brain drain" is defined by Wikipedia as "human capital flight" or more specifically, "the large scale emigration of a large group of individuals with technical skills or knowledge". . . read more.
