THE OWNERS

Byron and Sonia Lye-Fook were both born
in Jamaica and went to live in England
when they were ten years old. They visited
Ghana in December 1998 and fell in love
with the place and decided it would be the
ideal location to spend their retirement.
They began building The Almond Tree
Guest House in August 2000 and since then
have met many challenges and experiences.

Byron and Sonia know that their coming to Ghana was indeed a spiritual journey. They believe that all
people, especially those of African Ancestry need to make at least one Pilgrimage to these historical sites
in order to fully comprehend the impact of slavery on African people worldwide.

Sonia is a former primary school teacher who retired in August 2003. As well as running the guest house
Sonia saw a need to assist in the development of educational standards in the community in which she
now resides, by setting up the Sonibron Education Trust whose aim is to resource a selected number of
schools in the local community as well as paying school fees for individuals in need.

Byron is coming from a music business background being a former drummer, playing with blues, soul, reggae
and pop bands in the UK. He is a founder member of the Black Music Association (UK) and Kongo Dance
Records as well as being Managing Director of the music publishing company Congo Music Ltd. His experience
as an accountant has proved invaluable in the building and running of the guest house.
