Studying Abroad in Ghana, West Africa Summer 2005
Study Abroad in Ghana | July 06 to August 16, 2005

Read the first email I sent to family and friends in the first few days of my West African summer here.

“Lift Every Voice” is an hour-long film that chronicles that summer 2005, during which I studied at the University of Ghana in West Africa. This is a 30-second preview of it.

A West African Summer in 499 Words
Using footage from my summer in West Africa not used in “Lift Every Voice,” this 2-minute piece adds a visual element to an essay I wrote on my experience. Read the essay here.
Christopher Wink is the marketing director of Back on My Feet, a homeless advocacy nonprofit based in Center City Philadelphia. A resident of the Fishtown neighborhood, I am also co-founder of Technically Philly, a news site that covers technology and innovation for the region, and Web editor and business manager for NEast Philly, a hyperlocal news site for Northeast Philadelphia. I also maintain a freelance writing and editing portfolio. On this site, I share clips and write about the future of news, social media and entrepreneurship. The opinions posted here, of course, are no one's but my own, and so should not reflect my employer.
