Princess Anne arrives in Ghana
Her Royal Highness, Princess Anne, daughter of the Queen of England has paid a working visit to the National Service Secretariat to have firsthand information about their work, especially with the voluntary service scheme.
Princess Anne works closely with the Voluntary Service Overseers, (VSO), a British Organisation partnering the Voluntary Programme under the National Service Scheme which seeks to provide opportunity for people to work as volunteers and also assist people with disability.
She arrived in Ghana yesterday as part of a two country visit to West Africa. She was met on arrival by Ghana’s deputy foreign minister Chris Kpodo and other dignitaries at the Kotoka International Airport.
Her Royal Highness of Edinburgh held discussions with Mr. Kpodo at the airport before visiting the seat of government and the National Service Secretariat later in the day.
As part of the visit, the Princess Royal will have the opportunity to look at new areas of growth, for Ghana and for UK business. She will see how the Tullow Oil-led operation is supporting the development of Ghana’s off-shore oil industry, a key contribution to the rapid development of Ghana’s economy, and a pillar upon which Ghana’s remarkable dynamic growth is being built.
