Josh goes into client homes and sees what life is like for a Ghanian child with Autism:


From left to right: Christopher, Beatrice, and Josh. Christopher is a 13-year old with Autism. We had the opportunity to visit his house as well. Christopher couldn't have been more excited to see Beatrice upon her arrival. Me....eh.

Christopher told me everything there was to know about him; his favorite food, his age, his parents names, his siblings names, and what he had for lunch. Unfortunately Christopher has significant cataracts in his right eye which significantly impact his ability to complete many activities of daily living and vocational skills. Anecdotally I've noticed many of the individuals with Autism here in Ghana are also co-morbid with some sort of physical disability.

A Ghanaian bodega down the street from Christopher's house. Bodega's like these sell anything from water to fresh avocados & plantains to vapes. If anyone in Texas is reading this can we please get bodega culture going. Like wtf?

New food unlocked! Lobster. Seven fresh lobster tails cost 120 cedes. For the non-math people that's $12.00. Carrot/pea/olive/more carrot salad to the right.
