Ghanaian-Dutch footballer and forward for Barcelona FC, Memphis Depay has paid a visit to his roots.<\/p>\n

He arrived in Ghana earlier this week to enjoy his summer holidays after the end of the European football season and to continue his philanthropic works.<\/p>\n

Memphis Depay, who is born to Ghanaian father Dennis Depay, and Dutch mother Cora Schensema has been undertaking series of projects in recent years where he donated sporting equipment and other items to the Cape Coast School for the Deaf and Blind.<\/p>\n

This time, he has refurbished the washroom for the Cape Coast School for the Deaf and Blind in the Central Region of Ghana.<\/p>\n
