The Dome Clinic is coming on in leaps and bounds. We’ve got most of the exra expenditure covered (eg beds and lighting and some medical equipment) but still need to raise money to build a house for the medical staff. If there isn’t decent accommodation, no doctors or nurses will be willing to come and work at Dome.
Our new Dome Clinic is not far from completion. Right now, the walls are being plastered prior to painting.
We’re very happy it’s being built so quickly, as we’d like to get it in use as soon as possible.
On this Mother’s Day, Ashanti Development would like to express our

Our friends Professor Malcolm MacLeod and Patrick Holden visited Kumasi recently. Professor MacLeod was tasked with returning artifacts, taken by the British many years ago, to Ghana and giving them to the Ashanti King. While they were there, they attended a durbah (they shook hands with the King) and visited the Ashanti Development museum at Gyetiase.
The photos are of the durbah and the Museum at Gyetiase, where Patrick seems to be making himself at home.

The photos show Ashanti Development’s Nicholas Aboagye with a group of Fulani tribesmen who he has recruited to join our farm support project. Most Fulani tribesmen we come across are nomadic herdsmen and they often come into conflict with the Ashantis if, for example, they let their cattle pollute a water source.
Nicholas has persuaded this group to learn how to grow crops instead of herding cattle. If they succeed, their relations with the Ashantis will probably become much more peaceful.
