GRUMESA, Ghana (Aug. 20, 2013) Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Ray Mabus speaks to villagers in Grumesa, Ghana before a ribbon cutting ceremony for a new school. The Africa Command (AFRICOM) sponsored project was the result of a trip Mabus took to the region two years ago, where he was briefed on the lack and overcrowding of rural schoolhouses. Ghana is one of several countries throughout the region where Mabus is meeting with Sailors and Marines, and civilian and military officials to discuss security and stability and to reinforce existing partnerships with African nations.
