We welcome you to the Agona East District-the district of light and love. We say light because Agona East District being part of the central region of Ghana which is in the tropics abounds in sunshine; and we say love-because the people in the district (at least the greater number of them) are friendly and are full of laughter and joy. Come and you will also be filled with these attribut es of nature. We therefore crave your indulgence and humbly entreat you to use a little bit of your time to go through this little handbook which has come to your possession and which will most assuredly be of great benefit to you.

Thank you and may the Good Lord abundantly bless you.
