Photo of the week, October 19th

A typical rural community, with its 'seasonally challenging' laterite road; contrasted against some low clouds, the lush green vegetation that dominates Central, Western, Ashanti and Brong Ahafo regions of Ghana stands proud. The village community structure can be seen clearly, and the football pitch (with a walking track across it), a West African community trademark, punctuates the landscape. Such communities should be on the 'must visit' of every visitor to Ghana, for it is in the villages that the real Ghana is to be found. Leave the cities behind, and explore the wealth of rural Ghana this week. Photo Courtesy Medicine on the Move http://www.medicineonthemove.org/
