The real sense of togetherness that I felt the moment I walked into the office the first time was a good feeling. I was really happy to see that everyone knew each other and were friendly with each other.

One of the most amazing parts of being a Saharian is working with such a diverse community. Some of my closest friends are non-Ghanaians and it also doesn’t hurt that there are people that I call family. The Sahara experience has made me more versatile and dynamic, today you’re a trader, tomorrow a marketing executive, and next you are handling a construction project.
