On-site at the Volta River Estates Limited in the Volta region of Ghana. They were responsible for introducing the first fair trade bananas into UK's market.
Alisa towering over me.
I should have asked for a shirt.
Bunches of bananas get shipped to Europe under-ripe, about 2 weeks before becoming fully ripe.
FairTrade labeling stickers.
Next we headed to Wli fall's, one of the Volta region's most popular tourist attractions. As we were walking to the falls it started pouring. We were beyond drenched, but hey - it's part of the experience.
Beautiful.
Oh yes, we for sure jumped in. Believe it or not, we followed our Professor, John's lead... who was also the last one out of the falls as well. Gotta love that guy.
