Description
Our project revere's to our planet and of course our mother who has suffered to born and nurture us and revering to one of the most popular songs in Africa by Prince Nico Mbarga.
We are situated at the edge of Aburi (known for its Botanical Garden) overviewing the cool Akuapem Mountains a 20 min. Ride from the outskirts of Accra
Of course we offer hospitality but our main goal is to be an awareness center to inform people what is going on, on our dear planet, our world we're living in. In Ghana that awareness is not something common due to poor education and news broadcasts.
We offer a big grassland with a large swimming pool, bar/restaurant, stage and sound studio. The organic farm has to be expanded, the clay oven isn't realized, the restaurant is now functioning with a wonderful vegan cook We've got more land to expand. There is another three accre of forest downhill where people can meditate or play drums

the volunteer will meet the Ghanaian culture as he come here. Most of our customers and the whole staff are Ghanaians. Accra the capital is just 20 minutes away
Help
Putting up the organic vegetable farm and the kitchen is the most urgent matter, but there is lot of building work to do, most of the tools and machines are here. The clay oven is another thing. I have a big dough mixer to bake lots of brown bread (not available in Ghana, can be sold in Accra)
The studio offers traditional drumming and dancing lessons and the big plan is to create our own live band
We have 2 pickups a truck and my personal African Twin. Around here are favorite biking and hiking trails and some small waterfalls
At last we need somebody behind the pc for all advertising and bookings and internet connections
We are about to finishe a converence room and have big projectors to show docu's and work together . So a technician for aquipment and studio work will be more then welcome
Hope you've got the big picture and one day this place will be a wonderful place with an online streaming of many activities linked together
