The Global-Ghana Youth Network is a local-global organization working to educate, empower, and inspire youth in the United States and West Africa. In the impoverished Ghanaian neighborhood of Kissehman, we provide desperately needed resources and educational opportunities, meeting children’s basic needs while encouraging them to learn and grow. In America, we work with schools, organizations, and youth groups to facilitate exciting cross-cultural exchange.

Latest updates and news:
[2/21/2010 6:43pm] Possible gallery solution for the meet the kids area is currently viewable in the gallery section (first link). I will be testing out a lot of ideas to make it easier to manage the gallery due to the number of kids. The flash version is not going to be there for long, I will replace it with a html/css standard later so that way it is more accessible. Text has also been resized on the website to make it easier to read. Another bio has also been added to the About section.
[2/7/2010 2:53pm] Forum installed, profiles updated, new area "Meet the Kissehman Kids" will be launching as soon as we get pictures and have them write up their own personal statements.
[1/17/2010 12:30am] Website is now live and up to date!
