Africa is three times the size of the U.S. and is the only continent to be in all four hemispheres. 

Ghana is the country closest to the geographical coordinates 0,0.

Africa is the only continent to experience all six seasons: spring, summer, fall, winter, wet, and dry season. In some parts of Africa it even snows. 

The Akan people, a major people group of Ghana, were one of the world's earliest civilizations. You can find them in your bible in Genesis 36:27 as descendants of Esau. 

Ghana was the first sub-Saharan country to gain independence from colonial rule. Ghana gained independence from the British on March 6, 1957.

The word "Ghana" means Warrior King. 

The name of Ghana's currency, the cedi, means "cowry shell," which was once used as money. 

Ghana is nicknamed The Gold Coast. It is one of the top producers of gold in the world. 

Ghana is also one of the top cocoa producers. Think about that the next time you eat a Snickers bar. 

The Ghanaian flag consists of colors red, gold, and green, with a black star in the center. The red represents the blood shed during the freedom struggle, the gold represents the wealth of gold within the country, and the green represents the rich agriculture. The black star represents African freedom.
