This picture is by far my favorite of all the shots I took on this trip. It speaks volumes about the situation in this small village in western Ghana. As I was walking arounf the village one day I came across this boy standing by a tree watching the kids from the school playing soccer (futball to them.) It just looked like he was standing there dreaming about being able to go to school and play with those kids. The reason he can't go to school? His parents cannot afford the 22-24 dollars a year for his tuition. Schools are not free in Ghana and it is impossible for many parents to raise enough money for their children's education. It breaks my heart.
