Many of you have asked me what exactly I will be doing in Ghana over the next nine months. I realize that my responses have been more general and lacking clarity than informative and satisfying. I recently found this pdf document on the Princeton Admissions website. It does a much better job than I could of breaking down my experience to be in Ghana. It details my: arrival and orientation, homestay, language instruction, community service placements in Accra and Kumasi, cultural enrichment activities, excursions, the group service project, and the program wrap up. I got more excited once I read this description, and am confident that it will do a better job of answering questions than I could at this point. Plus, it saves me the time of writing a lengthy summary. Also, below I am including a link to the Princeton press release which offers brief detail on the Bridge Year students, the selection process, and logistics of the program. Take a gander if you wish.
