On May 1, 2008, the Vegetarian Association of Ghana (VAG) – vegGhana@yahoo.com - inaugurates West Africa’s first Vegetarian/Vegan Library & Resource Centre. VAG sends the following report.

Over the past few years the importance and popularity of eating a plant based diet has steadily grown here in Ghana. The opening of the VAG Library will further promote this worthy cause among our increasingly health conscious population.

The Library will be located at the premises of Assase Pa, Ghana’s original vegetarian restaurant.  A welcoming green oasis in the midst of Accra’s busy centre, the Library building has been beautifully renovated to help make it an attractive centre of learning and activism.
