Ghanaians are writing a new chapter in Africa’s history. Is it time to get on board? In 2002, Ghanaians abroad pumped $1.3 billion into Ghana’s economy, primarily through remittances to family and friends. Yet there’s a growing awareness that we can do better than just wiring money home to our loved ones. Starting with Harvard University on March 1, 2003, Ghanaians and friends of Ghana will be meeting at university campuses around the world to:
- (1) Discuss ways to improve Ghana’s failing health system
(2) Launch project to raise $2.5 million to help rebuild Korle-Bu and Komfo Anokye
- (i) A video documentary on Korle-Bu and Komfo Anokye
(ii) Panel discussion: interactive question-and-answer session. Large audience expected
(iii) Dinner and dance
