Walk with children to school, so to speak, and watch the children make a dance in the schoolyard around the Ghanaian flag before classes begin. At the Baobab tree, you can listen to traditional stories and at the music canvas, djembe sessions are held regularly. At the medicine man you will get information about the work of this traditional physician.
