LOVE PSEUDO - AFRICAN STYLE PART 5

TRIP FOR THE CAUSE OF MARRIAGE

This is all well and good if some women prefer to hunt for husbands abroad but I just want them to be aware of the evils involved.

My Impressions about Ghana

The impression most British people have of Africa is one of primitive, but noble tribesmen, and wild animals. We see pictures of people dying in war and famine competing with endangered animals for our sympathy.

Ghana is a country of multilingual, multi-talented people who are struggling to better themselves, rather than that one-dimensional victims shown on British television.
