BRITS SEEK AFRICA ROOTS
Jun 27th, 2009 by admin
One hundred and fifty black Britons will visit Ghana during a project to connect diaspora communities with the countries of their ancestors. Participants in the ‘Back to our Roots’ initiative will spend two weeks in the West African country learning about the culture, history and business and investment opportunities. The three-year project sponsored by the London Elite Forum, an umbrella organisation for businesses and entrepreneurs, aims to connect Africans in the diaspora to Gambia, Ghana and South Africa. Project organiser, Erran Warden told AfricanNews some British-born nationals and diaspora would like to forge links outside Europe and America but often lack the know-how or contacts to fully explore opportunities overseas.
