The day begins in the pulse of Accra: a street corner where market smoke lifts like a curtain and the Atlantic wind nudges vendors’ canopies. Participants step into a small teaching kitchen, palms warming to mortar and pestle, as the city hums beyond the windows. Later, an air‑conditioned vehicle slips through boulevards lined with colonial facades and modern glass, each turn revealing another chapter of Ghana’s living story.
