AIESEC Ghana MCP Application Booklet 2014 | 2015
Dear Applicant, Congratulations for taking the bold step to apply for AIESEC Ghana MCP for the term 14.15. I have come to believe that the experience AIESEC provides is very powerful and incredible and what strikes me is how young people everyday are not scared of challenges but instead they see a need and they make themselves available, innovate and see how that need can be met. For me, that is very powerful and that is the world I want to fight for, a world where young people are not scared of challenges, a world where young people breakthrough their limits to change things in their environment to create a societal impact. Being MCP of AIESEC Ghana for the last 5 months has been an experience I would love every young person to have/live. Being driven by purpose and striving to ensure that every member of the organization lives a high quality experience and improve the relevance of our noble organization is priceless. It is not simply a “president� or an opportunity of leading only. It is a challenge and experience of putting yourself to be someone holding hope and dream of many Ghanaians. Our mission is to make AIESEC Ghana the credible producer of young value oriented purpose driven leaders who are not afraid of change. I invite you to be a part of the generation that would breakthrough limits and own its promise. I invite you to be part of generation make it happen.
AIESEC-ly yours
Shayo Tinuoye MCP 13.14 AIESEC Ghana
