  Description

  Me and my wife run a small tourism venture in Ghana (west africa). And look forward to expand our beachfront accommodation by constructing a second holiday rental. We could certainly use some extra hands!
  
  The tourism project is not our personal project but an initiative from a guide in the neighboring village (Ampenyi). It involves excursions for tourists visiting the beach house and other beach resorts around (excursions include village tour / local fishing tour / lagoon tour).
  Revenue partly funds an NGO
