The Ghanaian saying, “Akwaaba” (meaning “welcome”), perfectly reflects the country’s warm and welcoming people. Ghanaians are known for their friendliness, hospitality, and for being easygoing and welcoming to outsiders. Ghana is home to over 100 different ethnic groups, each with its own language, customs, and traditions. Family Humanitarian expeditioners fly to Tamale to work in the poorer Northern Region.
