where I live

Where I live?

I live in CHIRAA, quite big & old village near forest, in SUNYANI district which is the capital city of BRONG AHAFO region.

BRONG AHAFO-midland of Ghana-

 BRONG AHAFO region is first settlement place our major tribe Akan, who speak Twi language, they came dawn from the north. Later migrations led to southern forest area and developed to Asante, Fante, Denkyira, Akim, Akuapim in present Asante, Central, Eastern, Western region.

 BRONG & AHAFO stand for two names of kingdom. The Brong state and the Ahafo state were there once upon a time before Asanti empire emerged one unit.

 Major production of BA is crops and timber, such as cocoa, cashew, yam, plantain and so on.
 This agric belt located between northern savannah area and southern tropical forest area. We call it transitional zone.
 In this transitional zone, Brong Ahafo has 6 Forest Districts in 19 administrative districts.

SUNYANI-capital city-

  We have 7 Forest Reserves in Sunyani Forest District. I am working in forest fringe communities around TAIN1 FR in blue. My colleagues of volunteers are also working in TAIN1, TAIN2, and Nzemere FR as a community officer, fruit growew and surveyor.

 We don’t have outstanding tourist point but it is very comfortable place cuz climate is calm and cool, so one volunteer said Sunyani is like a Switzerland in Ghana!
