Mangabey Awareness Day
MANGABEY AWARENESS DAY 2018
This year we focused our activities in the Western Region of Ghana. We had a two-day programme planned to engage the local communities who live near the habitat of the mangabey.
In Nawule and Anyiafutu we enjoyed a football tournament: the winner was Ellenda community after a tough final match against WAPCA Ivory Coast.

Kids also enjoyed a puppet show, a clean-up activity to fill a wire mangabey, and coloring mangabeys...
