Each year vast quantities of water pass through the Akosombo dam, flowing under the Adome bridge, on the way to Ada and out to sea. The Aksombo Gorge, the Akwapim-Togo range, etc. have much untapped tourist potential, waiting to be unravelled by those who truly appreciate it. Often unrecognised, unsupported and unexploited, our nation has many treasures, such as these, sitting in the Treasure Chest of our natural gifts, awaiting discovery and appropriate, sustainable, honest, people-centric development. Viewing Ghana from the air is an eye-opener, one that this picture can only provide a glimpse of. We all need to open our eyes, recognise the potential around us - both of natural resources and the people living amongst them - and support the positive development of Rural Ghana.
