A PEOPLE WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PAST HISTORY, ORIGIN AND CULTURE IS LIKE A TREE WITHOUT ROOTS
“Helping members of the African diaspora to learn about their roots is one of the most important tasks I have as a tour guide in Ghana, and as a tour operator in West Africa. When someone asks me to plan their cultural heritage experience, it is a privilege and an honor.” - Naa Kwaley Ajeso
