Youth leadership seminar to be held at Ada

A youth leadership summer camp is to be organised at the Isaac Hayes NekoTech Centre of Excellence at Ada for students to prepare them for future leadership roles.
The programme would last from July 4 to 19, 2009 and students between the ages of 13 and 16 would participate.
The Ghana MBA of Leadership Camp, as it is known, is an initiative of Channels of Blessings Global Ministry, Youth of Hope and Angels of Hope of the Isaac Hayes Foundation, NekoTech Centre of Ada.
Channels of Blessings Global Ministry is a Christian-centred holistic human development training programme organised in Ada, Tema and Accra.
A statement issued by the programme organisers said the students would be trained in various development areas, including spiritual and special skills development.
It said the students would also study leadership styles of their historic role models.
The summer camp is the first of its kind during which participants would learn about leaders who had made historical impact in the world such as former South African President Mandela Nelson, current President Mills, Vice-President Mahama, US President Barrack H. Obama and his wife, Michelle.
They would also use the opportunity to serve the inmates of the Angels of Hope Orphan Support.
“I realised that there was not much for the development of teenagers outside of school, especially during the summer,” the release quoted Princess Ocansey, Chief Executive Officer of Channels of Blessings Global Ministry and the NekoTech Centre, as saying.
She added, “I see this time as historic for us as a people to have great leaders our children can look up to.”
Ms Ocansey said next year they would invite children of Ghanaians living , as well as teenagers from all over the world, to come to Ghana for the summer camp.
Some of the unique training programmes next year would be chief-making and queen-making, where the students will be trained in the tenets of chieftaincy.
The Isaac Hayes Foundation NekoTech Centre is also a Centre of Excellence dedicated to improving the quality of life of rural communities through education, technology, health, entertainment and economic development.
However, Youth of Hope and Angels of Hope are both NekoTech initiatives for teenagers and orphans respectively to help in their growth, support and development into responsible citizens of our nation.
The purpose of Ghana MBA of Leadership Camp is to distance participating students from the hazards of complex and technology-driven cosmopolitan and metropolitan city life during vacations.
The perfect opportunity Ghana MBA of Leadership Camp offers is to allow social interactions between the students with City Life and the less-privileged or orphans in the village settings devoid of gadgets, machines and technologies.
