The Return of Artifacts by The British And A Visit To The Ashante Development Meseum

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.

Meeting Fulani

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.

Update on The New Clinic Project in Dome

Here are some photos of the new clinic we’re building in the village of Dome. Dome is directly on the main route used by migrants due to reasons such as climate change or conflicts which has made it too difficult to sustain life in their home villages. They settle in large numbers around Dome, which we hope will become a hub for development of the area.

Justice Nkwanta

Justice Nkwanta, who comes from Ashanti Development’s home village of Gyetiase, was one of the earlier students we sponsored.
He visited a few weeks ago to tell us that he has now completed his university course of politics and economics and is thinking of changing to law. Students like Justice make us realise what a lot many people can do if they’re only given half a chance.
