For JS Kongress in March 2019, Oliver (picture above: first row middle, white shirt) couldn’t join us due to visa issues. The thought originated and the idea grew: “If you cannot join us, then we’ll come to you”. #JSKongressGoesGhana has been born.

Half a year later, Jowe and Marco S from the JS Kongress Orga-Team set off from Munich, Germany to Accra, Ghana 7233 km away to meet Oliver and the local community.

Their time in Ghana started with a cozy community dinner, where they met some community leaders.
