Why Ghana? I've gotten that question multiple times, which makes sense since I'm not going there for my studies/work. The main reason that I am going is because I am just very curious and excited to get to know the Ghanian culture and people, and because I want to contribute further to the well-being and health of the people. I got inspired by a project in which I was involved during my last year of studying Biomedical Engineering at the University of Delaware. We worked together with a NGO from Ghana, GoGetDem, to design and prototype an affordable training device for (Paralympic) wheelchair racing athletes in Ghana. Via their manager and ontmoetafrika.nl I heard of the Bamboo Bikes Initiative, whose vision and mission align so well with what I was looking for that I could not let this opportunity go by.
