Description
Developing a domestic zoo and residence
My name is Jack Eyram Azor. I am an artist living with my wife and fourchildren in Ghana.
I see a great need in Africa/Ghana for development and I am confident that this can happen through art and creativity.
I recently bought a land which I want to develop, not only as my personal home, but as an educational centre in the community and a residence to welcome people (especially artists) from all over the world.
We are currently building the residence itself. In addition we plan to rear chickens, pigs, goats, sheep, ducks and breed dogs.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We offer our visitors a good cultural exchange. You will know about our tradition and tribes, understand the beautiful history of our region, learn our traditional food and music as well as our language.
In addition to the cultural aspects you will learn about construction works (including building furniture), animals and farming.
You can also benefit from my personal experiences as an artist. I studied visual art and can teach you anything about painting and drawing.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Your tasks will include helping in the building process of the residency, feeding the animals and planting seasonal vegetables.

Accommodation
At the moment we can’t offer you a place at our site. We can arrange a place for you (room with toilet and bath) in the village, where we are living. This will require a little payment (200 Cedi for one month).
What else ...
In your free time, Sogakope itself has already quite some things to experience. Sogakope is a very great place to be in Ghana. The city is directly at the Lake Volta on which you can have a nice boat tour. Within 45 minutes you can reach with public transport the capital Accra. With a 30 minutes ride you can enjoy your time at the beach in Keta.
In addition you can visit the Waterfalls in Vli, the Monkey sanctuary in Taffi Atome, Humi which is known for its pottery, just to mention a few.
