A Visit to My Village In Ghana ( West Africa ) | Village Life in Eastern Region , Ghana

An Emotional Visit to My Village In Ghana ( West Africa ) | Village Life in Eastern Region , Ghana
In this video, I take you on a journey to my village in Eastern Region, Ghana called Apampetia. We experience real village life. We see cocoa trees and learn about the process of making cocoa, we see a village market, village farm, a village kitchen etc. The best part is that we get to interact with the village people. This is all part of my experience and journey back to my roots in Ghana , West Africa. We end this journey with some delicious , traditional Ghanaian food - fufu and light soup and rice and stew.
This video will particularly help africans in the diaspora and African Americans who want to experience life in Ghana, Ghana living and move to Ghana ( Africa ) .

Hi Akua, I grew up in Ghana in Kumasi, Koforidua and Sunyani. I attended Opokuware Secondary School. I Stole palm wine, drank akpeteshi, visited all the chop bars, and did all what young Ghanaian boys do. My Ashanti name is Kofi Mensa (since I am the 3rd child). I have been to Apampatia with a school friend from Koforidua. Your vide made me so nostalgic.
