I planted three cacao trees today.
About a year ago, the president of Ghana said that they no longer want to sell cacao to Switzerland and want to make their own chocolate. That’s roughly half a billion pounds of cacao beans annually! I have to plant more trees!
“We’re determined in Ghana for succeeding generations of Ghanaians do not become victims or pawns of international economic order, but have beneficiaries. Indeed, the project is a Ghana beyond aid and Ghana will discard a mindset of dependency, aid, charity, and handouts and is charting a path of self reliance in her progress fashioned out of the intelligent and disciplined use of her considerable human and material resources.”
