<b>REPORT ON WORLD READ
ALOUD DAY ON WEDNESDAY </b>4TH<b> MARCH
2015, AT DOMEABRA<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
World Read Aloud Day is a day celebrated to motivate
children, teens and adult worldwide to know the power of words and create a
community of readers taking action to show the world that the rights to
literacy belongs to all people. By reading aloud, this day shows and motivates
children to know that they have the right to read, write and share their story.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Solutions for life Initiative Ghana celebrated this day with
the Domeabra change makers Club in the Ashanti Region. Among the various literature
to be read aloud this day, the poems “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou and “Kindness”
by Naomi Nye were selected. As part of our goal to inspire young ladies and
empower them, the poem by Maya Angelou “Still I Rise” which focuses on
self-esteem and rising to achieve your goal despite the challenges and
difficulties faced in life, rising to the top despite your background was chosen
to motivate and empower these young ladies to focus on their strength and work
towards their aspiration.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The poem Kindness by Naomi Nye which focuses on the power of
kindness and experience in life also teaches these young ladies to be kind to
others and know that the experience they go through in life either good or bad
will shape their life and become self-motivated people in life, helping society
and their nation as a whole</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The program began around three 3:45 Pm with lesson on how to
open and find meanings of words in the dictionary. The ladies were asked to
find some meaning of words in the dictionary which they suggested
themselves. The Literature Specialist
Gideon KwabenaYeboah explained to them that, to find meaning of words in the
dictionary you have to know your alphabet well and also know how to spell the
word you want to find in the dictionary. The meaning of some words were found in
the dictionary and some ladies were asked to form sentences with those words,
which was interesting. They were able to learn new words and expand their
vocabulary. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ladies were asked to read the poem “Still I Rise” by
Maya Angelou in silence and underline the words they did not understand. They
were then asked to read the poem aloud stanza by stanza. The poem was explained
to them that, they should rise to achieve their aims and goals despite the
challenge they face in life and also not to look down on themselves even though
their background is poor, they should have self-esteem and confidence wherever
they find themselves.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Likewise the poem “Kindness” was read in silence and the
difficult words were underlined, the ladies were then asked to read the poem
aloud, and was explained to them by Gideon KwabenaYeboah that, they should be
kind to people and appreciate every experience they go through in life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The meanings of the underlined words in the two poems were
looked for in the dictionary and again some of the ladies were asked to form
sentences with those words. Some literary words which the ladies came across in
the poems like simile, Metaphor, Imagery, hyperbole were all explained to them
and they were encouraged to continue reading more story books and poems, look
for words whose meaning they find difficult in the dictionary in order to give
them a life of hope, independent and joy.</div>

a month ago, the world woke up to horrifying news. On the night of 14–15 April 2014,
approximately 276 female students were kidnapped from th<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>e
Government Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State, Northeastern Nigeria.
The kidnappings were blamed on Boko Haram, an insurgent group. The girls were
about writing their WASSCE when they were taken. The response of the world
thereafter was even louder. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>“Let us pick up our books and our pens.
They are our most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one book, and one
pen can change the world. Education is the only solution.” </strong>– Malala Yousafzai. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">At Solutions for
Life Initiative – Ghana we are passionate about enforcing these powerful words
spoken by 16 year old Malala Yousafzai in her address to the United Nations
earlier this year. Education <strong>IS</strong> the only solution. That is why when asked by
the Afia Kobi Ampeme Girls Senior High School (AKAGSHS) to talk to their
students about the opportunities that education can give them, SFLIG jumped at
the chance.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Set amongst
luscious grounds, AKAGSHS is an all-girls school with over 2000 pupils. On
Tuesday, SFLIG was lucky enough to speak to over 700 of their Form One students
in their week long orientation program. The theme of the day was education – particularly
the importance of it; the ways in which it can transform their lives and the
barriers that can prevent them from achieving their educational goals. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">SFLIG used
stories of inspirational women such as Ghanaian politician - Betty
Mould-Iddrisu, 16 year old Pakistani student -Malala Yousafzai and the 24<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
President of Liberia - Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to highlight how education has
changed the lives of these role models. These stories also taught the students
about dedication and commitment – qualities that are particularly evident in President
Ellen Sirleaf’s story. At the age of 17 Sirleaf was married with four young
boys. Whilst the rest of her classmates were moving on to higher education in
Liberia and the United States, she was left caring for her family. It was at
this moment that Sirleaf developed her goal to become educated – an educated
she became. With a degree in accounting and a master’s in public administration,
Sirleaf demonstrates that whilst you may meet obstacles on your road to
realizing your educational goal, you should never give up on them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">SFLIG also used
questions to interact with and engage the girls. These interactions showed
young women who are articulate, intelligent and ready to take on the world! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An activity where SFLIG asked selected
students to provide advice to their fellow classmates highlighted these
qualities even further and reinforced the idea that in order to achieve your
goals you must remain focussed, be critical in the choices you make concerning
friends and boys and keep your faith in God. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was a
privilege for SFLIG to facilitate this workshop! If these girls are to be our
future leaders than we have no doubt that the world will be a better place. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">There is
something uplifting about hearing 100 teenage girls singing ‘I have decided to
be educated, I have decided to be educated, I have decided to be educated…no
turning back, no turning back’! These were the words that were sung by over 100
girls at the </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.603305399729925.1073741827.151001888293614&type=1"><span lang="EN" style="color: windowtext; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Atwima Kwanwoma Focal Girls workshop</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
held in the Foase district. Run by the Girl’s Education Unit
(GEU), the day saw selected girls from neighbouring schools participate in a
workshop aimed at improving the strength of girls club within the district.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Having partnered
with the GEU, SFLIG was lucky enough to not only attend the day but to also
facilitate some of the main activities. With the key objectives being to
highlight the importance of girl’s education, address the challenges faced by
girls in their educational journey and develop leadership skills of the
participants, Solutions utilised practical activities that strengthened the
communication techniques of the participants and built their self-esteem as
leaders. GEU supplemented the practical sessions of SFLIG with sessions that
discussed girl’s education, self-esteem, adolescents and challenges that face
teenage girls in Ghana.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">GEU runs girls
clubs throughout Ghana to support and guide teenage girls in their academic and
personal pursuits. Within them, facilitators work on academic skills whilst
also tackling the issues facing teens. The girls who attended this workshop
were selected with the vision that they would become leaders of the girls club
within their school, which would reignite or strengthen the already established
clubs. In schools where the club was not established, these girls would be used
to aid teachers in the development of a club. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Girl’s education
within Ghana continues to have many challenges with over 44% of adolescent
females not attending secondary school. The reasons for these low attendance
scores are many – teen pregnancy, inadequate financial support, social stigmas,
and lack of educational aspiration – but girls clubs, such as SFLIG’s Change
Makers Ambassadors Club, are an excellent way to mentor and guide teenagers so
that they make the right decisions for their future. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">SFLIG’s final
point of the day was to ask the girls to make a commitment to themselves and
those girls who they intend to lead – a commitment to work hard at their education
and to support those around them to do the same. This commitment was symbolised
by their collective thumbprints and names. With numerous girls commenting on
how the workshop had empowered them with new knowledge and skills, it was clear
that the day had achieved its desired outcomes. And as always, SFLIG was
honoured to be part of such a program and to contribute to the learning of
these future leaders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This week
sees the launch of one of SFLIG’s biggest events – the ‘When You Eat, They Eat’
annual Christmas picnic. For the past two years, Solutions for Life Initiative
– Ghana has provided over 1000 underprivileged children in Kumasi with a Boxing
Day they won’t forget. Held at the luscious grounds of the Cultural Centre,
this event has provided street children and orphans with more than just a meal
at Christmas – it has provided them with a day where they can experience the
joy and sense of belonging that Christmas is renowned for.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">From the
moment the first child arrives to the time that the last one departs, this day
is full of activity. There is the jumping castle, which continually provides a
‘wow’ factor with the kids – the lines never seem to go down! Then there is the
face painting tent, where kids have been transformed into butterflies, super
heroes or something from their own imagination. The horseback riding, which is
not for the faint hearted and of course, the classic dancing chairs – a game
that never fails to provide spills and thrills. And this is just to name a
few!! All this activity creates a healthy appetite and the food and drinks do
not disappoint! However, lunch time is not just about feeding that appetite.
One of the main objectives of the day is to ensure that these children are
given the opportunity to share a meal and be merry with each other and with the
larger community, particularly volunteers and sponsors. The title ‘When You
Eat, They Eat’ is symbolic of this concept – those from the larger community
sharing with children who they may have seen selling on the street corner
earlier that week. It is one of the reasons that make this celebration so
unique – children leave the day with a full belly, yes, but more than that,
they leave feeling joy and love.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">For
volunteers of the event, this day begins early! Before the first child arrives
there are chairs to set up, jumping castles to blow up, stalls to erect,
beverages to be chilled, banners to be posted – the list goes on and continues
to grow throughout the day. However, despite this long list, every year
volunteers continually talk about the joy this day brings them. It is Saint
Francis who stated ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">It is in giving that
we receive’ </i>– a fitting quote to detail what all volunteers experience at
the ‘When You Eat, They Eat’ event. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In 2013 we
are looking to make this day even bigger and better. There will be more
activities, including arts and crafts, Christmas story telling and a souvenir
picture with Santa himself, a wider range of games and even more variety in the
food and drinks. But, we need your help! We at SFLIG are calling upon you good
people to give a special gift this Christmas – it could be the gift of your
time through volunteering; it could be a financial donation at our gofundme.org
account <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>( </span></span><a href="http://www.gofundme.com/4cbluc"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">http://www.gofundme.com/4cbluc</span></span></a><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> ) or it could be a donation in kind (please
contact infor@sflig.org) – whatever you choose to do, please know that every
little bit helps in making this day a success. Thank you in advance for your
help, we’re looking forward to sharing the stories of the day with you all soon!

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">On the 10<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> of August, 62 teenage
girls from around the Ashanti region participated in Solutions for Life
Initiative – Ghana’s (SFLIG) first annual ‘Inspire to Aspire’ retreat day. Set
amongst the luscious landscape of the KNUST Botanical Gardens, the program saw adolescents
participate in a variety of activities aimed at challenging and inspiring them
to ‘aspire’ to education. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The day began with sixty strong female voices
yelling “Be the change you want to see in the world” – the catchphrase of
SFLIG’s Change Makers Ambassadors clubs. Dedicated to educating and mentoring
adolescent females in the Kumasi region, these clubs provide the girls with a
safe and supportive environment to explore and discuss relevant issues and
topics. As many of the Change Makers faces were new to each other, the first
port of call was to ‘break the ice’ with a fun and engaging activity. A
‘cheerleaders’ interpretation of the classic ‘scissors, paper, rock’ did the
trick as within minutes, each of the girls were shouting each other’s names. It
was then time to focus on one of the key themes of the day – highlighting the
strength and abilities of each individual girl. In Ghana, low self-esteem is a real
barrier to education, many girls don’t believe they are worthy of gaining an
education or that they have the ability to do so. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was therefore SFLIG’s mission to incorporate
this theme into each of the sessions so that the participants may understand
and see the potential that lies within them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another key goal of the day was to challenge
and inspire the girls to see the possibilities that await them if they invest
in their education. To achieve this goal, SFLIG enlisted the help of several
female professionals from a variety of different professions including a
lawyer, dentist, teacher, entrepreneur, nurse, police and fire women and a biochemist.
Speaking about their educational journeys and the challenges they faced whilst
on them, each of the women discussed similar topics – each highlighted the need
to be dedicated to and focussed on the goals the girls want to achieve; each
spoke of the strength they had gained from God’s love; each spoke about the
dangers of becoming involved with boys from a young age; each emphasised the
role education has and is playing in making their dreams a reality and lastly,
but maybe most importantly, each spoke of the hope that education provided for
them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These guest speakers were able to
provide a message that resonated with many of the girls – anything is possible
if you believe and invest in you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">One particular story that emphasised the hope
that education brings is that of </span>Joyce Nartey – a young woman who is
working hard to make a past mistake into a brighter future. Joyce was an
adolescent when she engaged in unprotected sex with her boyfriend resulting in
her contracting HIV and becoming pregnant. Whilst many would have let this
mistake dictate the rest of their lives, Joyce saw it as an opportunity to
educate other young girls about the dangers of engaging in sex from a young
age. Having now completed fashion school as a designer, dancer and actress and
welcomed two young children into the world, Joyce’s story speaks of the way the
girls can overcome challenges through education. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The final activity of the day was
one that required the girls to reflect on their own hopes and dreams for the
future. In taking the time to contemplate the goals that they wished to
achieve, these young women took positive steps towards making their dreams a
reality. To symbolise these steps, each girl used their unique thumbprint to
make a commitment to themselves and SFLIG that they will move forward from the
day with the lessons they have learnt and their ambitions at the forefront of
their minds (see pictures below). <span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">And as the last ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’ rang out,
it was clear that each girl had been challenged and inspired to think about
what their future could and should look like. </span></span></div>

<b>SFLIG Volunteer talks about her time in Ghana:</b><br />
<br />
"<b>My time in Ghana was unforgettable. </b>Truly. The minute I was on the plane back to France, I was trying to figure out when I could go back. Mainly, this is thanks to the wonderful, incredible, 45 children I feel in love with at the orphanage I went to in the afternoons. That and the irreplaceable Sally and Bernard, in charge of the NGO I was assigned to. I made lifelong friends and future project partners..."<br />

<tr><td class="vTop" style="vertical-align: top;"><span itemprop="description"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />Stationery is one major challenges that most vulnerable kids especially orphans face in their studies. Most of such children go to school without the need exercise books nor text book not to mention other stationery like pen, pencils, mathematical sets etc.<br /><br />Is in view of this that SFLIG as our way of solving Life issues have developed this program to help provide stationery to such school children every academic year.<br /><br />Schools are on break now and by the close of the month we will be starting another ac</span>ademic year. Most children at Orphanages and deprived homes are going to struggle with school fees as well as stationery and is only YOU and ME who can help to get these children to school.<br />
