I am Aaron Justice Tsatsaku, the Regional Rep. for Global Eco-Village Network, Ghana (GEN-Ghana). I was born on September 6, 1993 and currently live in Peki Adzokoe in the Volta Region of Ghana, West Africa. I completed Peki Senior High School in the year 2013, and in 2016 took part in the 1st Ecovillage Design Education (EDE) Course which took place at Kumasi Institute of Tropical Agriculture (KITA).
