An earlier travel I did make an earlier visit to Ghana in August for only eight days, leaving on Wednesday 17th August and returning on the 25th night. I discovered in Ghana that the Church provides the spiritual and educational impetus for enhancing the social, educational, industrial, and professional life of the people and the cities/capitals as well.

That bears strongly on the nation's capacity development generally. I found that Ghanaian Churches are on the way of becoming catalysts of modernisation for Ghana and other parts of Africa. They are challenging the people and the economy to get ready for market realities and development innovations. This trip was a follow-up on the August travel.

The latest Trip
I travelled to Ghana with British Airways flights, leaving Gatwick on Monday 27th September and returning on Monday 8th November.

The core purpose of these travels was to bring the experiences of my bishopric and the above Institute particularly in the areas of community development to support community-based development initiatives in Ghana - and where possible assist to direct the outcomes towards further opportunities. In doing this, the visit was also exploring and shaping the future involvement of both Institute for Community and Development Studies and the bishopric in the Ghana's economic development and social transformation.

This second trip however concentrated on two capitals, Kumasi and Sunayni.

2. At Kumasi, Ashanti Region of Ghana.

3. At Sunyani, Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana

4. General observations of the local development initiatives in Ghana.

5. Conclusion - and a step in the next trip
