Ghana: Cape Coast History and Culture

Ghana: Cape Coast History and Culture

Learn about the culture and colonial history of Ghana while exploring the country’s capital and coastline. Step into the past at a UNESCO World Heritage site where thousands of enslaved people spent their last moments in Africa before being sent to the Americas. See how the country’s 70 ethnic groups are thriving today. Experience traditional dances and food. Get busy providing much-needed service at the Cape Coast School for the Deaf and Blind, and then relax while hiking through tropical rainforests and along the tranquil beaches. This program is the perfect mix of history, culture, scenery and service.

My trip to Ghana was my first exposure to the continent of Africa. It was also the first time, in my memory, that I began to consider my role as a global citizen.
