Some places we visited in Ghana

Kitchen built with CIV funds

Children dancing at the project

During the Summit we had the opportunity to visit 2 projects where we saw a WASH intervention and also an Income Generation activity. The WASH intervention helped the project to built bathrooms to the kids and now they have a better environment to serve the beneficiaries. The same project also built a kitchen using CIV funds. The second project we visited completed an Income Generation activity that consisted in a "Grasscutter farming". Go ahead and click the link to know more about the Grasscutters. Besides that, these were very cultural visits, we saw the children dancing with traditional costumes and singing beautiful songs! Some of our team also took a chance to show their dancing skills!


Cape Coast Castle

We went to the Cape Coast Castle, place where the slaves were brought from many regions in Africa to be sold and taken to many countries of our America. It was a time of reflection about our history and how it affected lives of many people and families in the past. There's a door that was called as "Door of no Return", which was the gate that the slaves passed to go into the ships and never returned to their land. Nowadays it's called "Door of Return", name that was given after the end of the slave trade. It’s crucial to know the history so absurd mistakes like the slavery are not repeated ever!
