One of the things I’ve loved – and occasionally hated – during my stay in Ghana is living at Nana Bema Hostel with the other students and it’s something I doubt I’ll experience in any other setting. Even if you have lived in a ‘kollektiv’ or dorm before, it can’t quite match the experience of
MODEL 3 is about environmental challenges and resources management. Since every model has a field trip in it, we embarked on a field trip to the kakum national park which is a rain forest in the kakum Atandanso community in the central region of Ghana, the purpose of the visit was to give students a
