Ghana has become increasingly popular as a holiday destination. This is unsurprising – it is one of the most politically stable, and safe, countries in Africa. But visiting for a fortnight, or even a month, barely allows a scratch of the surface of this vibrant nation. You can see some of the sights and sample the food, but you’ll never get a real understanding of what makes the country tick.
Having left his History classroom in Britain, Peet spent ten months of 2012 teaching in rural Ghana. In this thought-provoking book, he recounts some of the tales which shaped his stay in the house of the village chief and his family. Peet’s often self-deprecating wit comes to the fore as he gets to grips with the rigour of the different classroom environment, fetching water, tro-tros and more. All this is set in time to the events which made the year one of national significance.
