First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out... Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me -Pastor Martin Niemoller #BlackLivesMatter #Solidarity #AltonSterling #PhilandoCastile #SayHisName #Dallas #PoliceShooting

Hey, it's Jacky, the founder of New Lens Travel. Here's a photo of the first (and only) fashion show I've ever been to, which was in Ghana. That's where I met Ameyaw Debrah, one of Africa's top entertainment journalists and a celebrity gossip blogger. Lots of people are surprised when I tell them Ameyaw makes a living as a blogger, because it challenges the ideas we have of people in Africa. Ameyaw is one of the storytellers that we pair our program participants with. If you're interested in an alternative experience to voluntourism, consider participating in our Ghana program to spend time with people like Ameyaw, whose creativity and entrepreneurial skills will challenge your assumptions. Spots in our August program are open: http://www.newlenstravel.com/how-it-works/
