One Direction in Ghana!

  One Direction have travelled to Ghana for Red Nose Day.

The boyband went to the capital Accra to meet people in poverty who receive donations and support from Comic Relief.

Harry Styles wrote of the experience: "Today was the most amazing day I've had so far... In my life ever....@rednoseday Thank you so much for having us. It was amazing and we'll see you soon."

Niall Horan wrote: "I've seen the slums right in front of me! This is no joke! They really need your help! Poverty is real

"Massive thanks to @rednoseday for taking us to Ghana! It was incredible! real eye opener! We take so much for granted over here!"

The Daily Mirror said that the boys jetted out to Africa on Saturday to meet local people living in poor conditions.

Footage from the chart-toppers' visit will form the video for their charity cover of Blondie's One Way Or Another, to be released at the end of the month.

I don't know how I feel about this. It's good that they're doing something but it's a little gross with how condescending many Westerners are when travelling to these countries.

ghana is one of the better off african countries economically and politically so i see this as a little condescending as well.

These princes. <3

#povertyisreal2013 tbh. I love Niall, but come on now lol.

Not sure how I feel about them using this footage for that song, though. I don't see how it'll fit. D:

Not even touching some of those tweets and comments, but as someone who has somehow been taken over with love for Liam (and Zayn...but mostly Liam) in the past few weeks, I feel compelled to comment in this post.

Zayn doesn't even look like he wants to be there.
piratesswoop 16th-Jan-2013 02:15 pm (UTC)
he probably doesn't lol

the region and city he's from have a huge issue with child poverty--probably not as rough as these children might have it but he was probably well aware that #povertyisreal

i am from ghana and i just made the most exaggerated of eyerolls

not to say there isn't poverty in ghana but there is poverty EVERYWHERE, Niall

and ghana (and most of africa, really) is such a fun place to be, i wish the media would show that for once.
