The "'Back to your village' Food Bazaar" Experience

As part of celebrating Ghana's Heritage month which is the month of March, we at Shared Space took a trip to the Citi FM “Back to Your Village Food Bazaar”.

The program was held at the forecourt of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly and showcased indigenous Ghanaian dishes like Omo tuo, Banku, Tuo Zaafi, Kokonte, Ampesie, among others.

On 25th March 2023, we had the opportunity of tasting some delicious local foods and snacks from across Ghana including 'apaparansa', waakye, plantain, coconut crunch, peanut crunch.

This trip was taken by some children and adults from the Shared Space and the children learnt a lot about a wide range of Ghanaian meals and their preparation, while enjoying live performances of Ghanaian music. Below are written experiences by the children.

Community Drive for Books! Let's share!

Books! Some of us may have piles of old books taking up space on shelves in our homes. The Shared Space encourages us to sort out those books once in a while, keep the ones that we would want to keep and share the ones we can share :) A community book-drive spreads the joy of reading by providing libraries with quality literature, textbooks, magazines and helpful books. We would be glad to accept books and other library-beneficial items from your home. We believe in re-using and re-purposing items and are open to suggestions and collaborations. Enriching the scope available books in our Space is one of the practical steps necessary to inspire a love of reading in our communities, neighbourhoods and country at large.
