A prime aim of most Ghanaians living abroad is to build a house in Ghana. Reliance on relatives and friends has led some to loose fortunes. There are numerous stories of most hard working Ghanaians abroad going back home to realize that relatives have either misused their remittances intended for building their homes or built an undesired type.

Over 30 Ghanaian corporate bodies with varied experience in the real estate development have flown in from Ghana to hold a housing fair in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The fair will provide many Ghanaians living in The Netherlands and neighboring countries the opportunity to directly negotiate with professionals on the acquisition of their new homes, mortgages for existing and uncompleted homes etc. etc.

The fair is taking place at Augustinos College, Dubbelink 1 in Amsterdam on the 17th & 18th June 2005.

A raffle draw is expected to make a lucky person the owner of a 2-bedroom flat in Accra.

Organizers of the fair, Samora Logistics, Fufu Express & Sankofa Television have flown in Ghana?s award winning hiplife stars Batman & Okyeame Kwame. Arriving this morning (Wednesday 15th June 2005) the boys briefly told newsmen at the airport that it was their first time of performing in The Netherlands and they look forward to thrill their fans with lots of surprises.
