The leadership there wanted a serious equity partner to help build a structure to support a school and School Day Care and Community Center...all great things for a serious development cheif. The guys I introduce were not seriously committed to a start up Orphanage. They had serious issues that it was not established well enough in the officially funded paper work trail but in reality I believe the children in the Jamestown Historical Fishing Community did benefit from my mysterious unknown Dubia impromptu Donation..10k ghcds was prayed over br a Ashanti Crown Prince Blessing the Investor money that was used to by items he alone picked out..They selected food and drinks..no school supplies or funds..there was talk to revisit and possible buy a cow..that might happen but not with me..The Donator was on another path than my Spiritual Journey..and I was led to move in another positive uplifting community direction ...

Unfortunately it was closed in the evening when we came, but it was beautiful to look at from outside.

Visiting Jamestown has been on my list of things to do for a long time. It was everything and more than I imagined it would. We stumbled on a visitors information centre and went on an impromptu tour with our tour guide who took us through British, Portuguese and Dutch Jamestown. Our guide was a well informed resident of Jamestown and among the places he took us were the 1st hotel in Ghana called Sea view hotel. Well, what's remained of it. The Ga settlements, the chief's palace. We got the chance to see the women dry and smoke the fish the men had brought back from sea, even saw a group of men making boats from scratch. It was amazing! We also visited a well known boxing gym where future world champions trained at. We interacted with so many amazing people and I think regardless of me being Ga, I would've still connected with these people. It's a tour worth taking!

Perched on the edge of Accra’s coastline, the Jamestown Lighthouse stands as a proud sentinel of Ghana’s colonial past and maritime legacy. My visit to this iconic landmark was nothing short of captivating. The structure itself, with its bold red-and-white stripes, is a striking sight against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean.

Climbing to the top offered panoramic views that were absolutely breathtaking—waves crashing below, the bustle of Jamestown’s fishing community, and the historic architecture that dots the area. It’s a place where time seems to pause, allowing you to soak in the rich stories etched into every corner.

Beyond the lighthouse, the surrounding neighborhood pulses with life and culture. From street art to local guides sharing tales of the past, Jamestown is a living museum. The lighthouse isn’t just a structure—it’s a gateway to understanding Accra’s roots and the resilience of its people.

If you’re seeking a blend of history, scenery, and authentic local flavor, Jamestown Lighthouse...
