Press Release Body = Multicultural Business Council (MBC) announced today it has
formally begun the initial planning stages for a cultural tour to Ghana. The
announcement followed research done by Joseph P. Cool of Cool & Associates of
Waterford, Michigan, showing tremendous opportunities for commerce between Ghana and
southeastern Michigan.

Cool\'s research was validated by Mr. Kofi Annorh, a native of Ghana and a grandson
of Nana Obopong of Aboasa - Akwamufie Nana Kwafo Akoto. Rick Weaver of MBC also
participated in the first formal meeting to review the scope and impact of the
cultural tour, which will be known as "Mosaic Ghana". Annorh has recently formed
Divine Breeze, a cleaning company located locally in Waterford, Michigan.

Mosaic differs from standard cultural tours in that Mosaic focuses on building
long-term relationships and cultural understanding among the participants. A typical
Mosaic seeks to immerse participants in the culture of the host country including
special emphasis on educational opportunities. As individuals build relationships
they become true friends instead of simply being business partners. These
friendships create greater synergies resulting in a higher degree of trust, improved
decision-making, and reduced problems during the initial stages of new commerce.

Mosaic Ghana will feature meetings between government and business leaders and Ghana
and Michigan. Ghana is rich in minerals and has a port system ideal to facilitate
the distribution and logistics of products. The cultural aspect of Mosaic Ghana is
likely to include tours of coastal buildings used during the slave trade. In
addition, sports will play an important part of this trip.

Cool, whose Ghanaian name in the indigenous language of Akan is Kwadwo Cool, is
extremely excited by his initial research. "I can see some tremendous opportunities
between Michigan and Ghana", says Kwadwo, "Mosaic Ghana will be a huge success for
all participants."

Mosaic Ghana is tentatively scheduled for the summer of 2007. Anyone interested in
more information should contact MBC at 248-802-6138 or by email to
