Impactful Visit To Ghana – Melania Trump Ends Solo Visit

US First Lady, Melania Trump has thanked the people of Ghana, following what she described as a “memorable visit” to the West African nation.

Mrs. Trump arrived in Ghana on Tuesday for a two-day solo visit and was treated to a hospitable reception by the locals.

The trip to Ghana is part of Mrs Trump’s ‘Be Best’ campaign, which aims to improve child welfare, especially when it comes to online behaviour and addiction to opioids.

The US first lady arrived in Ghana on October 2, 2018, and was welcomed by Ghana’s First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo.

Melania Trump in the company with Ghana’s First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo visited the Children ward of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, where Mrs Trump donated hampers and a photo-therapy machine used for treating complications of jaundice in newborn babies, to the hospital.

On Melania Trump’s second day in Ghana, she travelled to Cape Coast in the Central Region where she met and interacted briefly with the chief, Osabarima Kwesi Atta II and his elders, before taking a private tour at the Cape Coast Castle.

She took to twitter to say “Thank you #Ghana! The arrival ceremony, visit to Ridge Hospital, tea at the Jubilee House & meeting the hard workers at the U.S. Embassy made for an amazing first day. Thank you to @RAkufoAddo & the people of #Ghana for such a memorable visit.”

The trip to Ghana, organised by USAID, is part of Mrs Trump’s ‘Be Best’ campaign, which aims to improve child welfare, especially when it comes to online behaviour and addiction to opioids.

She will also visit Malawi, Kenya and Egypt to complete her week-long visit to Africa.
