As I am looking through my pictures trying to find one that I'm inspired by to write about today, I continue to be drawn back to this picture. It's not my best picture by far. It is too busy. There is no focus. There is too many different colours. It looks noisy. But I think that's why I'm drawn to it. This is a rural Ghanaian market on a typical market day; noisy, busy, colourful, without obvious order or focus.

EWB Day(s) is officially over...but some chapters are still rocking out and will have events going until mid-way through next week!I spent part of EWB Day with the University of Toronto chapter. One of the pieces of their EWB Day involve some atreet theatre about CIDA and the G8/G20. Now let me tell you, I'd never heard of anything like this within EWB so I was very curious what the results or learning would be.
