Helping Ghana cope with cancer

It is estimated that more than 300m people now live away from the country of their birth and that they send back more than £500bn ($750bn) to their families.

For some developing countries the money sent home is a vital part of the economy, but many migrants want to do more than just ship back cash.

A growing number of those who have enjoyed success in their adopted homelands want to use the skills and experience to "give something back" to their country of origin.
