The Regional Minister said she was pleased to receive the team, and gave them a historical background of the heritage that makes Cape Coast a unique region in Ghana, adding that she was happy that the Miss Ghana pageant is not just about beauty but it also aims at injecting life into society. She later pledged a donation of GHC 10,000 to support the Beauty With a Purpose project in Ghana.

Ivian had a natural moment in the reserved forest, after a thrilling walk on the Canopy Walk way. She cooled off with the rest of the team to enjoy coconut water. She told Peacefmonline.com in a brief interview that she is enjoying every bit of her time in Ghana; the people, the hospitality, wonderful tourist attractions and Ghanaian coconut.
The team also paid a visit to the Cape Coast castle, where the queens were taken through the history of slave trade in Ghana and the story behind the construction of the castle. On Monday May 21, the team paid a courtesy call on the presidency, where they met Vice President of Ghana John Mahama at the Osu Castle in Accra.
