Those Who Inspire Ghana – TWI Inspiring Days

Those Who Inspire Ghana is the 10^th book that we launched beginning of February in Ghana. For the last month, we have organised Inspiring Days (ID) between the Ghanaian youth and Mentors (Inspiring People – IP).

At Those Who Inspire, we believe we need to transmit experiences, knowledge, wisdom and real life stories to the youth via the Inspiring Days for them to:

RELEASE their full potential
PURSUE their dreams and passions
CONTRIBUTE more to their country & people
LEARN from their fellow citizens
FIND MENTORS from their own country
REALISE they can be anything they want to be
COME TO SEE that everything is possible
BE PROUD of their achievements and country
NOT BE AFRAID to fail

On the 12^th February, we organised one ID at UPSA where IP/mentors Renée Q. Boateng, Karen Akiwumi-Tanoh, David Osei Amankwah Jnr and Stephanie Ode Wilson came and exchanged face to face with students. TWI Ghana IP animated round tables with those students during 1 hour. UPSA students then shared their experience and learnings from those sessions, followed by a Q&A.

We donated free of charge books to students thanks to Those Who Inspire Movement’s Partners in Ghana.

Thanks to the collaboration with UPSA teachers, the books donated will circulate among all students to make sure all of them will get to read the portraits, get inspired and find a mentor.

The ID tour continued and on the 19^th of February, together with Databank Foundation, we organised another Inspiring Day coinciding with the announcement of their Leadership and Excellence Awards (LEA). Ms Pilar Carrasco, director and co-publisher Those Who Inspire Ghana joined (LEA) together with Ms Pebbles Parkes, Programmes Director at Databank Foundation. Former Kayayoo Teni Agana, one of our IP and mentors, shared with graduates about finding your passion, the importance of having a mentor and building a career.

Each (LEA) awarded received one book of Those Who Inspire Ghana thanks to our partner Databank Foundation.
