I really appreciated the thoughtfulness that went into this. You know, the moment you used the name Kwesi, my mind went "Ghana." I have a Ghanian friend who, although used a Western-sounding name when we met, had changed part of it to Kwesi after a while (I'm not sure what his legal name actually is, and he's gone back to using the Western-sounding name). So I Googled the currency before I read your footnote that actually gave that confirmation too.

I have some clothes that are decades old. I don't really throw things out or donate them. Things only get thrown out when they've ripped and are beyond useable any more.
