KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – As part of a cultural heritage initiative aimed at strengthening historical ties between Jamaica and Ghana, two African houses were officially handed over to Jamaica by the Government of Ghana this week.
The houses were constructed by the Ghana Army Reconstruction Team, which was assisting with Hurricane Melissa recovery efforts.
The buildings are located at the Seville Heritage Park in the northern parish of St. Ann.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Culture Minister Olivia Grange said the gesture serves as a reminder of Jamaica’s roots and shared history with Africa.
She noted that the buildings represent a powerful symbol of the enduring historical and cultural connections between Jamaica and Africa and are expected to enrich the interpretation of African heritage at Seville Heritage Park.
Meanwhile, Minister of Foreign Affairs Kamina Johnson-Smith said the initiative reflects the strength of bilateral cooperation between Jamaica and Ghana.
