1.
Mortgages don’t exist here. If you want a house
you have to pay cash for it. This is part of the discrepancy between housing
for the poor and wealthy. Houses here also take a very long time to build. As
does everything in Ghana – one road that is basically the artery of Accra was
started over ten years ago and they are still nowhere near finished.
2.
Mother’s here that give birth naturally are sent
home the same day. If you have a C-section you stay for two days. Maternity
leave is 3 months long. Mother’s also dress in white for the first 6 months of
the baby’s life.
3.
Girls must keep their hair short like a boy’s to
attend public school. Girls also get their ears pierced the same day or shortly
after birth.
4.
An “A” in a class at the University of Ghana
(where Dr. Anderson attended) is an 80 or above. The students here don’t
believe that an “A” at UGA is a 93 or above.
