Photo of the week July 31st, 2013

How many more amazing places can we possibly find in Ghana? It appears to me that every week I find something new and exciting - at least I find it exciting - and beautiful. Sadly, the desire to see development in the rural areas is often confused with others greed towards making a 'personal fortune' and controlling access to such treasures. Beauty like this belongs to the people, especially the rural people, of Ghana and must be promoted in a sensitive and appropriate manner. Ghana's gold is not all underground, it is simple sitting on the surface waiting to be discovered - and you cannot put a value on it. Perhaps the there is room for a National Trust that can take care of our heritage and preserve it for future generations?
