My write ups

On October 28, 2017, Keteke Ghana visited the Jamestown Community in an outreach dubbed “CLOTHE AND FEED YOUR NEIGHBOUR.” I served as the General Secretary for the Club, and also took part in this exercise. This activity saw about 30 student volunteers visiting Jamestown to support the community with donations which include; Clothes, shoes, Special Ice Products and much more. Some Doctors and Nurse from the Korble-Bu Polyclinic and The National Blood Society were also present to assist us with a health screening exercise and a blood donation exercise respectively.

Keteke Ghana paid a week-long visit to Klikor in the Volta Region of Ghana as part of its humanitarian activities. The GIJ based club left Accra on May 23, 2017 to support and donate stationery items to two schools in Klirkor; Akatsavakpor Basic School and Atsiaklorbor M/A Basic School. Keteke Ghana also provided clothes, shoes and other materials to inhabitants of these two communities. Aside the donation, the group organized a health screening exercise in collaboration with the Ghana Health Services and it attracted a lot of people to participate. This trip provided an opportunity for me to visit Togo for the Very first time in my life. Meanwhile, it was my first entry into the Volta Region. Truly, the experience from the outreach was a nice one and I learned a lot on volunteerism and its essence. Volta Region is a nice place to live.

On April 13, 2017, Just A Smile, a Club based in the Ghana Institute of Journalism reached out to the Teshie Children’s Home in Accra to donate to the kids stationery, food items and clothes. Led by Animah Jacqueline, members of the club, including myself had the opportunity to interact with the kids. Also present at Teshie for the exercise were; Charlotte Nettey, Emmanuel Asare, Abigail Amoah, John Kofi Badu, Suleman Rukaya, Theophilus Akafari, Nii Okai-Martey David, Akosua Boatemaa, and Priscilla Assuming Owusua among others. We encouraged them not give up but work hard to make it in life. The donation exercise was successful and I was glad to be part of it. Below are some photos;

The 2016/2017 Level 100C class at the Ghana Institute of Journalism was tasked by their Creative Writing Lecturer, Mr. David Apawu, to creatively write and publish story books and/or poems. These books were later donated to the Mamprobi Cluster of Schools in Accra on April 13, 2017. The idea of this exercise was to imbibe in students, the culture of reading and writing at all times since it has several benefits attached. I was privileged to have contributed my quota in making the activity a successful one. Characterised with joy and hard-work, the class was able to engage students at Mamprobi Cluster of Schools with reading and dance competition, spelling competition, and much more. Below are some photos:

> Keteke Ghana, a student organization based at the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) on Friday, 30th September, 2016 visited Mampehia M/A Basic School in the Ga South Municipality of Greater Accra Region as part of its mission to support and promote humanitarianism among students. Remarkably, I was part of the Team and this was my very time embarking on a volunteering mission upon entering the Tertiary as a fresher. The group, after engaging the students in their various classes donated to the School, which stationery and other relevant materials for teaching and learning. Meanwhile, Gabriel Obodai Torgbor-Ashong of Metro TV fame, who doubles as a founding member was available to take coverage after an initial ‘expose’ of school’s situation.
