 On 21 March 1832, a second group of missionaries including Andreas Riis, Peter Peterson Jäger, and Christian Heinze, the first mission doctor, arrived on the Gold Coast only to discover that Henke had died four months earlier.A major focus for the Basel Mission was to create employment opportunities for the people of the area where each mission is located.To this end the society taught printing, tile manufacturing, and weaving, and employed people in these fields.
