Culture: coffins in Ghana

In Ghana there are very special coffins in all kind of forms (planes, beer bottles, Nokia cellphones see photo). You can visit them in Teshie amongst others. But you can now order them online as well from eshopafrica. The story of the development of eshopafrica can be found on iconnect-online website.

I found them a while back when I was researching options for Sharing Foundation. Our big problem is getting enough stock from Cambodia to US to sell. We usually have volunteers bring back an extra suitcase as shipping from Cambodia is so unreliable and expensive.
