About us

Community development is the focus of almost everybody in the developing world (and even the developed). That is what this blog seeks to do: highlighting the development challenges of a shortchanged community called Buluk, encompassing the Bulsa North and South districts in the Upper East region, and parts of Northern and Upper West regions.

Buluk is a tribe in the Upper East region of Ghana with ancestral links to neighbouring tribes such as the Mamprusi and Kasena.

Feok is the only festival and major celebration across the land of Buluk.

Feok, as it is popularly called, attracts people from around the world to observe the tradition and culture of the people of Buluk, and to showcase the tactics employed by our ancestors to defeat slave raiders Babatu and Samori. 

Sandema is the capital town of the Bulsa North District and Fumbisi is also the capital town of the Bulsa South District, all in the Upper East region of Ghana. It is also the seat of traditional governance. The paramountcy is non-rotational.

The main economic activity of the people of Buluk is agriculture. The major celebration for the year is the Feok festival, which is organized yearly in the month of December. The people of this town are called Bulsa (also sometimes spelt 'Builsa') and the traditional area itself is called Buluk. For more information on the chronology of Buluk  and Bulsa, click here.
