Welcome to this week's TravelTalkMEDIA Newsletter -
by Sandy Dhuyvetter
I have just returned from Ghana, Africa where I served as the Global Ambassador for the 2nd Annual International Women's Fair (IWF). |

In three words I can give women and men around the world a heads up about next year's IWF, "Don't Miss it!" It was a celebration of Mothers, businesswomen, committed partners and young girls. The international message was clearly made by presenter, Dr. Kofi Amoah. He called women to action through his presentation on taking businesses to the global community. An inspiration himself, a few decades ago, Dr. Kofi took the idea of bringing Western Union to Ghana to the Western Union headquarters in NY. Against great odds, he succeeded in Ghana, and he also took Western Union throughout all of Africa, creating opportunities never imagined before around the continent.

As a tongue and cheek approach, one advertisement called the Fair 'important for women, and compulsory for me.' There was no shortage of the support given by husbands, co workers and supporters of equal rights for women around the world. The fair was textured with exhibitors, plays and a bounty of local food. Next year's Fair promises to be even more diverse and larger than ever.
Ghana proves once again, it is a country of opportunity and a good entry point to the African marketplace. From travel to pharmaceuticals to bright business ideas, Ghana has no shortage of entrepreneurs and early adapters.

Airline Ambassadors International joins Japan relief efforts
By Sandy Dhuyvetter
Relief plans that included sending a first team to set up logistics began to be put into place almost immediately by Airline Ambassadors International (AAI) after the catastrophic events in Japan. As a recent addition to the board of directors of the AAI, it was my pleasure to get involved and, in fact, I was grateful for the opportunity.
