End Tour

On our last full day in Ghana, we toured the W.E. B. Du Bois Center and visted President John Kufuor, who lives in Ghana Castle. The seat of government, and akin to the White House in the United States, the castle is a former slave castle once used as a holding pen for Africans before they were shipped into slavery.

Inside Ghana castle, bars and a modern lock lead to a cell that once held African slaves and a view of the ocean from the castle.

We also visited the Osu Children's Home, an orphanage here where we met the children of Osu, volunteer student Lila Yuen, 20, who is a sophomore at New York University and is in Ghana on a study abroad program.
