Dorothy, from the Volta Region you can move up north to see the special architecture and more. Keep your camera charged

I can't help you, Dorothy; it's been so long since I was there. But I cannot forget the warmth of the people, the spirituality of a dance I attended in Kumasi, the sadness at the Cape Coast fortress, the taste of home-smoked fish, and smiles. All that sounds corny, but a lot of people who've spent time in Ghana would agree with me.

I've signed up to volunteer with Cross-Cultural Solutions in Hohoe starting mid-September. Been reading Gayle's blogs to learn about the country. Anybody have any advice about what else to see during a few days after the project? Thanks.

I was in West Africa once, many years ago, with a teachers group. The people of Ghana impressed me with how kind and gentle they were. Even their dances reflected that. I'm glad the U.S. (Kennedy Airport?) is now connected to Accra.

West Africa Discovery (www.westafricadiscovery.com) , a web portal aiming to raise awareness towards West Africa and to promote sustainable/responsible tourism development through the listing of tours, accommodations and volunteer projects that strive towards the fulfilment of criteria outlined in the Cape Town, Kerala and Belize declarations on responsible tourism practices in destinations (http://www.westafricadiscovery.co.uk/responsible-tourism.html). We also aim to make West Africa Discovery the first port of call in the UK for referring tourists to Western African based Responsible Tourism projects.

As a company we aim to help in the development of Responsible/Sustainable development in all West African countries by linking like minded people together to facilitate the sharing of ideas, educating by distributing Responsible Tourism related material to Tourism organisations and helping locally based individuals to develop ideas which will help to develop the concept in their country.

We are committed to putting West Africa on the map as a destination that tourists would like to visit, and our vision is that through the West Africa Discovery project the listed accommodations and tours will provide benefits for local communities whilst respecting the natural, cultural, social and historical heritages in the destination.
