A blog from Jarreth

Update #4 · Jul 26, 2012 · comment

Hello friends,

I want to share a blog with you that I wrote for Sundance about necessity of telling an African success story, especially in light of the recent shift in political power with the death of Ghanaian President Atta Mills. You can read my story here: http://www.sundance.org/blog/entry/political-safari/

Also, we need your help to reach 100 backers by Friday. If everyone of you asks a friend, we will meet that goal! Please, take 2 minutes out of your day and talk to someone about this project. Thanks!

Jarreth
