Editor’s Letter “Dogs do not actually prefer bones to meat; it is just that no one ever gives them meat” ! Dear Friends,

the time has come to take a break, spend a little more time with our respective families, purge stress and worries and recharge our batteries. You surely have plans for making your holidays as exhilarating as possible. Nevertheless, we take pleasure in making interesting suggestions for you to make the best of your break. We welcome the Black Stars home from their Brazilian adventure. As the great Confucius stated it, “Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in our ability to rise whenever we fall”. Our Stars will surely shine next time. For now, let’s relish photos from the tournament in Brazil and some exciting moments from the support they received in Accra. You will love reading about Miss Regina Agyare. She is most definitely a personality to reckon with in this computer age. Especially as our people are encouraged to take full advantage of technology thus making our country a better place to live in. Congratulations to the Children’s Heart Foundation Ghana and Ghana International Women’s Club: they can be proud of their fundraising efforts. Finally, to wish you all Happy Holidays and see you in September, since the Enjoy Team is taking a welldeserved break too.

Enjoy!!! Don’t forget you can also read the magazine online at: www.enjoyaccra.com

Innebandy Are You Tough Enough?

Players of all nationalities, ages and levels meet at the National Stadium to play innebandy.

very Wednesday evening and Saturday afternoon you will find a mixed bunch playing this game (developed in Sweden in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) on the tennis courts at the National Stadium in Accra. It looks like a version of hockey but played with plastic sticks and a ball that looks a bit like a supersize practice golf ball. Fiercely competitive and fun to play, it requires little other than an ability to run and some degree of hand/eye co-ordination. There are few rules other than you must enjoy yourself and not hurt anyone (not always easy when you are pelting down the court intent on taking control of the ball). If you think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for you, come and have a look. e

July in History .........July 14, 1789 The French Revolution began with the fall of Bastille, a strong fortress in Paris, which became a symbol of royal tyranny. It had been built as part of the fortifications on the east wall of the city of Paris, and played that role very well. But during the 17th and 18th centuries, the Bastille was used primarily for housing political prisoners, who were imprisoned indefinitely in the Bastille without accusation or trial. Bastille was stormed by a revolutionary crowd on 14th July 1789 in the French Revolution, becoming an important symbol for the French Republican movement, and was later demolished and replaced by the Place de la Bastille.

It Is the Month Origin:

July is Julius Caesar’s month of birth in the year 100 B. C. The original name was Quintilis, i.e. the fifth month in the early Roman calendar, since the Roman year began in March rather than January. In 46 B.C., two years to his assassination, and with the help of famous astronomer Sosigenes, Julius Caesar, famous Roman dictator, statesman and general, designed the ‘Julian’ calendar, a precursor to the Gregorian calendar in use today. He allocated 31 days to the month of his birth. Then the Roman Senate named the month Julius in his honor in 44 B.C., the year of his demise.

.........July 4, 1826 The United States Congress revised the Declaration for final approval on July 4, 1776. The only two signers of the Declaration of Independence who later served as President of the United States were John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson (bitter rivals) died on the same day, July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration.

.........July 6, 1945 Nicaragua becomes 1st nation to formally accept the United Nations Charter. The Charter was signed on 26th June 1945, in San Francisco, at the conclusion of the United Nations Conference on International Organization, to, among other purposes, “maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace”. It came into force on 24th October 1945.

.........July 9, 2011 South Sudan gains independence and secedes from Sudan, following a referendum that passed with 98.83% of all votes cast. The capital city is Juba. 10 | Jul-Aug 2014 ENJOY No 91

Honouring July with a Poem I can’t believe it’s already you, July. Half the year has now passed me by. A moment ago it was New Year’s Day With fresh resolutions to pave my way. My chagrin is rescued by wondrous July As gorgeous fireworks light up the sky. This freedom that I assume is owed Was purchased by many a bloody road. Though air is sultry and mosquitoes bold, I prefer you, July, to the winter’s cold. by Gregory Huyette

Did you know ?? Brazil covers 50% of the South American continent. Albert Einstein never knew how to drive a car The word ‘testify’ derived from a time when men were required to swear on their testicles. The Moon weighs 81 billion tons. Human thigh bones are stronger than concrete.

Monthly facts

A Glass of Milk, Paid in Full

They once said...

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.

Albert Einstein

Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk.

(1879-1955)

“When you are courting a nice girl, an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder, a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity”.

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

“Recession is when a neighbour loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours”.

Maya Angelou (1928-2014)

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”.

Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

“All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come”.

Rev. Desmond Tutu (1931)

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality”.

He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit. Years later, that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case. After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She began to read the following words: “Paid in full with a glass of milk. e Signed, Dr. Howard Kelly.” - Author unknown.

As in LA, ‘gold’ statuettes were awarded, in this case to deserving supporters of the Children’s Heart Foundation Ghana. As at any self respecting Hollywood event, stars graced the function, even on this occasion, if only in the form of cardboard cut-outs.

ng Holidays

“The big question then is: what to do to beat boredom and avoid turning round at home like a fish in its bowl.”

he much-awaited holiday season is here with us. It is assumed generally that the ideal way to spend holidays is by travelling outside your country of residence.

But, what if you do not have the means to fly abroad or if you simply choose to stay put this year and experience new ‘domestic’ vacation treats? The big question then is: what to do to beat boredom and avoid turning round at home like a fish in its bowl? Here are some ideas. •

Enrol as a volunteer in a charitable association: you might help put a smile on the face of someone less privileged.

•

Get some exercise: you have plenty time to spend. Why the rush? Forget your car, or the family’s, and do the rounds on foot or by bicycle.

•

Learn something new and relaxing. What about swimming? Sewing? Cooking that special dish you tasted at your friend’s party? Menial tasks fixing plumbing, carpentry or painting your home?

•

Expand your linguistic ability. Why not enrol in an institution for holiday courses in that language you have always admired people for speaking? Refer to page 28-29.

•

Learn to play a musical instrument. Ever admired the dexterity of the guitar, drum or organ player in church or during a music show? Ever wished you could do same? Grab the opportunity now!

•

Get informed – don’t just stick to that one topic you have always liked to discuss. Read on other topics and broaden your horizons.

Don’t forget. The idea is to pass a cool, rewarding, fulfilling and nearto-blissful holiday period. Have fun! Enjoy! e

“Determined to make it in the field He took the right courses and had the right exposure.”

Mr. Francis Alley Deyegbe

es we can! That was the exhorting phrase — now a famous one — that came to my mind while at Golden Tulip Hotel, Accra on 18th June 2014. I was listening to the various interventions by prominent speakers during the launch of the book, ‘Understanding Hotel Front Office Operations’. Yes we can because obviously, one of our own, Mr Francis Alley Deyegbe, who authored the book, believed he could and the result is out for us all to behold. Mr Deyegbe, presently deputy general manager of Golden Tulip Hotel, Accra, had to climb up the ladder step by step. He started in the industry as a restaurant cashier! Determined to make it in the field He took the right courses and had the right exposure. Whilst working in Kenya, Italy, Benin, Togo and Kumasi, he polished his skills and

gained invaluable experience. In Cotonou, Benin, in Lomé, Togo, and in Kumasi, Ghana, he polished his skills and improved upon his experience. Dr Samuel Atta Mills, Managing Director of the Ghana Tourism Development Company, who chaired the function, himself an expert in the hospitality industry, expressed gratitude to the author of the book, for making a muchneeded handbook available to industry players.

We eat and breathe them”. Esi Yankah added whether you see yourself as a leader or follower you are called to serve. Everyone has a purpose and assignment on earth and its important for everyone to discover theirs so they can walk in their original destinies and not one created for them. Every title comes with a mantle, and a title is useless if a person isn’t doing any work and offering their selfless service. Titles don’t define you, you define your title. Let’s not get caught up in titles and position but lets strive to make, impact and transform lives.

Kids Story Time :

Princesses O

nce upon a time there were three beautiful princesses their names were Kimmy, Katie, and Kristen. Kimmy was 3, Katie was 5, and Kristen was 8. They all lived in a manor. With butlers, maids, cooks, and lots of people. But the princesses did not treat them like slaves they treated them with respect and kindness. Their mothers name was Krystal. She was very kind, and taught her three girls how to treat all people with respect and kindness. The mother had long flowing black hair. Their fathers name was Kevin. He taught his three girls to be ladylike. He was very nice man. They also had a tutor named Ken. He had light brown hair. He was very handsome. One sunny morning a messenger came with very sad news. The mother’s mother was very ill. The mother and father had to leave. They left the princesses with the uncle. The uncle was very mean to every one. His mood made everyone in the manor miserable except the princesses. One time he told the cook to make steak and spaghetti. The uncle changed his mind but didn’t tell the cook. The cook could not read minds so he still made what the uncle said to cook. When the uncle saw this he stormed off. The cook was not happy. But Kristen told him it was ok. So that made the cook feel better. Everyone else ate what he made and it tasted delicious. Another time the butler made the beds as usual, but when the uncle inspected them, he did not like what he saw and he blew up at the butler making him feel awful. Kristen saw this scene too. After the uncle left she told the butler it was fine. She made the butler feel better. He did this to maids and lots of other people to. One day after dinner 34 | Jul-Aug 2014 ENJOY No 91

kids story

Kristen told her two little sisters about these scenes. The girls agreed to have a meeting and discuss how to make there uncle learn a lesson to be respectful and kind to others just as they had been taught. The girls made a plan to be very kind to there uncle hoping to teach him a valuable lesson. First, while eating their breakfast they said to the cook, “Thank for our breakfast, this is a very nice meal.” As their uncle watched his nieces polite behavior, he felt awkward that he has never said anything nice or polite to the cook. Later on that day, the girls offered to help their very special butler with his chores. Uncle sees this behavior and reaced angrily telling the girls to stay in their rooms for the rest of the day. He does not want the girls to do butlers job.

As the uncle was thinking about them, the girls were thinking about their uncle hoping that he had learned a lesson. After the uncle had time to think, he let the girls out of their rooms to have a talk with them. “I have been acting silly these past few weeks. I have been yelling at cooks, maids and butlers. I have not been respectful to anyone in the manor. Watching the three of you be kind and polite to everyone, has taught me to be kind and caring to others as well. Thank you for teaching me this valuable lesson and I am very sorry I have not been so nice to you” The girls thank their uncle and are happy that they taught him the lesson of respect, kindness, and love. The next day a messenger came and reported that the mother and father would be arriving home within the next few days and that their grandmother was feeling much better. The uncle was on his best behaviour for the rest of his stay with the girls. The mother and father never found out about the uncle’s bad behavior. The girls kept this a secret. A secret they only told to their children, and their children’s children. And this lesson was passed down to many, many more. e

Top Benefits Of Waxing Brought to you by Nouvelle Parfumerie Gandour

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means your hair free, smooth skin lasts much longer and you can go for that holiday on the beach and bask in the glory of your enviably smooth and glowing skin.â&#x20AC;?

axing is a very convenient, cost-effective, longer-lasting and quick method of removing this unwanted and unsightly body hair. As it removes hair directly from the roots, one does not need to worry about hair growth till at least 3-6 weeks. Waxing can be used for removing hair from virtually any part of the body. It is most commonly used for removing hair on the arms, legs, underarms and bikini line. Other parts of body where waxing is frequently used for hair-removal are face, including upper lips, lower lips, eyebrows and chin, and the chest and back. The only areas where waxing should not be used are eyelashes and inside nose and ears. Waxing on the female and male genital organs and nipples should only be done by a qualified and trained professional as these areas are especially vulnerable.

Why Choose Waxing? The benefits of waxing are many: Smooth, Silky Skin that Lasts Waxing removes hair from the root, so it takes a longer time for hair to grow again- anywhere from 3-8 weeks, depending on the individual speed of hair growth. This means your hair free, smooth skin lasts much longer and you can go for that holiday on the beach and bask in the glory of your enviably smooth and glowing skin without having to worry about body hair showing up in the meantime.

beauty tips

No Skin Damage In contrast to other methods of hair removal like hair-removing creams and shaving, waxing does not cause cuts, pigmentation, or badly smelling skin. No harsh chemicals are present in wax, so, the skin is saved from their damaging effect.

Finer and Softer Body Hair

Double Function of Hair Removal and Exfoliation Waxing leaves the skin soft, smooth and rejuvenated because it also removes a layer of dead cells from the surface of the skin, and thus, indirectly serves the function of exfoliating the skin as well.

Care and Caution while Waxing

After repeated sessions of waxing, you will notice a much sparser hair growth, and hair growth may even stop eventually. In contrast, shaving stimulates hair growth, because it removes hair at the surface only, not at the root.

Do not expose yourself to direct sunlight in the 24 hours before waxing and especially in the 48 hours after it. Avoid wearing tight clothing. Also, avoid hot baths, use of fragrant creams and lotions, and especially body scrubs for the next 24 hours. Some people may get redness, bumps or skin irritation after waxing, but, it usually subsides within a few hours. If you are using Vitamin A creams or tablets like Differin, Retin A or Isoretinoin, it is strongly recommended that you do not wax, because these medications make the skin more prone to tearing when you peel off the wax. Do not wax on irritated, broken, chapped skin or on moles.

Removing body hair by waxing is becoming so popular that even men are getting their bodies waxed in increasing numbers.

How is Waxing Done? The good news is that waxing can be done at home as well as by a professional. You can master the technique by doing it yourself a few times. Just heat the wax until it is of a thick consistency and apply it thinly on the skin in the direction of hair growth. Place a cotton cloth, muslin or a paper strip over this area and press it. Finish by holding the skin taut and pulling the strip against the direction of hair growth by a swift movement of the hand. There, you have done it! The pain you feel will last only an instant and you will forget about it when you feel the pleasant sensation of your silky, smooth skin.

To drive the point home, if you want to enjoy the sensation, attention and admiration that a silky smooth, hairless and glowing skin inevitably attracts, waxing would be just the way to achieve it- easily, instantly and for longer. So, Ladies and Gentlemen, Happy Waxing! e

horoscope

Cancer 22/6-23/07

Libra 24/9-23/10

Capricorn 22/12-20/01

The July 12 Full Moon puts you in the spotlight. People (especially a nervous or insecure partner) may expect you to take care of everything. July 23 and July 24 have many sweet encounters, some sweet nothings, and perhaps delusions, but pleasant nonetheless. You’ll have no trouble separating fact from fiction. Enjoy good times before Friday night, July 25, when life may take a serious turn. Money prospects look good for the July 26 New Moon. If there isn’t a windfall or good news about income, it can still be a lucky time to make financial plans.

July 5 and July 6, the first weekend of the month, could be fractious and full of sensitive, frustrated people. If anyone you love insists on setting off sparks and starting a fire, take them aside and offer marshmallows. May no good spark go to waste. Any dissatisfaction or friction at home won’t tarnish the bright good luck you have at work at the July 12 Full Moon. Relax and be great in public. Lots of friends and fun come to you with the New Moon on July 26. Ration your energy, choose what (and whom) appeals most, and go have a blast.

The second week of July, starting July 7, may be uncomfortable when people around you are more stressed than normal for reasons that make no sense to you. Let it pass and don’t catch the nervousness. Love comes your way with the Full Moon on July 12. Open your eyes and heart, be willing to look close to home, and see past any temporary personal unhappiness. The New Moon on July 26 positions you to benefit from other people’s good intentions. Make sure you’ve paid it forward as much as you can, then graciously be ready to receive what you’ve already earned.

Leo 24/7-23/08

Scorpio 24/10-22/11

Aquarius 21/01-19/02

The Full Moon on July 12 could be privately very lucky, a great enlightenment moment rather than a winning lottery ticket. Relax, don’t fret, and know that all lost cats will find their way home. The July 26 New Moon is all you, so look and feel your best and project your best image. People will be seeing you everywhere they turn, so be ready. Things could turn very lucky for you, starting Tuesday, July 22, through to month’s end. Keep expectations low, work ethic and passions high. Let the Universe amaze you, and refuse to be jaded by the world.

Big things will be easy and small things not quite so much at the Full Moon on July 12. Don’t get overly ambitious, though. Let most of the small things take care of themselves. Thursday and Friday, July 24 and July 25, set you up for a high-powered weekend that starts light and lucky but can morph into very serious. Be patient with yourself and others, and don’t let anything set you off. The New Moon on July 26 impacts your career and public presence. A lot of people will be grateful and even like you if you give them half a chance.

The Full Moon on July 12 is edgy for you. Imaginary fears or low self-esteem could cost you a lot of happiness and good luck in your daily life. Don’t go there. Let it pass. Work at fine-tuning that daily routine, then go out and join the happy crowd. The weekend of July 19 has surprises, possibly big, but short-lived. Avoid confrontations. A shining new romance or ideal partner could flash across your horizon with the July 26 New Moon. If you’re looking for sexy excitement or some other great new partner, both of you can turn up the heat this month.

Virgo 24/8-23/09

Sagittarius 23/11-21/12

Pisces 20/02-20/03

Mental fog and confusion dissipate as the month begins, and it gets easier to think straight about even the most convoluted of things. You don’t have to tackle anything big unless you’d like that. Take your happiness and high spirits to the streets with the Full Moon on July 12. Radiate creativity and don’t let any dissenting voices slow you down. The New Moon on July 26 can bring you great good luck in ways that haven’t quite surfaced yet. Be patient and optimistic. The New Moon in Leo does things in a big way, but it might not be instantaneous.

July 8 and July 9 may prove challenging, but you can make them fun and lucky. Work your magic and reassure friends. It’s back to basics for the Full Moon on July 12. Find the answer to a big question, even if it’s someone else’s, and know that you’re doing fine no matter how it feels. July 24 offers opportunities that only you can see. Be modest but move quickly. The New Moon on July 26 could open your eyes to a whole huge new world if you turn down the psychodrama and don’t promise more than any one human can deliver.

Be creative, playful, and inspired by your family, or family of friends, at the July 12 Full Moon. Remember, what pleases you doesn’t have to please everybody else. The whole world may not be your audience. Don’t dream away the middle of the month and decide that you just don’t care. This may feel the strongest around July 14 and July 15. The July 26 New Moon highlights the countless perfect little things that only you really appreciate. People will notice and you may wake them up to more satisfaction in their lives. It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s huge.

Holidays

t’s summer! You have worked so hard all year round. Time now to plan a getaway, relax and have fun. But can you really stay in shape while having fun? How do you feature fitness in the equation? Simple! You need to reconnect with sport, which will allow your body to get some fresh air, and also release endorphins - known as molecules of happiness. You then feel good, and your worries evaporate. Indeed you really feel on holidays! Here are some general rules to follow: #1: Exercise. It is a challenge but don’t let time constraints prevent you from exercising. Just because you can’t access a gym doesn’t mean you can’t exercise. Sweating for at least an hour a day can be beneficial. Also remember to drink lots of water : it’s good for your body and keeps you hydraded. #3: Think about what you are eating and drinking. You will benefit by doing more than just sitting around and chatting with relatives. The holidays can be more than just eating while watching TV or chatting: move your body. #4: Stick to a fitness plan & exercise twice a week. Do not spoil yourself with holiday goodies. Set a limit for yourself. What you could do is to enquire whether there are gyms/ fitness centres around the hotel you are about to book. If you are really serious about this: check first for gym locations, and then book your hotel. Try to limit your calorie intake. Add salads and fruit to your daily diet. Keep away from fast food restaurants or look for the healthy alternatives within. Finally try and limit your alcohol consumption, even those innocent looking juices may be full of sugar so concentrate on upping your water to control your thirst and treat yourself to a drink in the evening maybe. At least, do not go binge-drinking; it is very harmful to the liver and also it will save you a huge amount of calories! Enjoy your holiday! e

n this article we will explore the woman’s sexual persona to learn to improve her overall experience of eroticism. This will be examined by the “science of sex”, not the emotional or “art of sex”. While the route to achieving the peak sexual experience of orgasm is similar for men and woman, there are also some differences, particularly when it comes to timing. Understanding your spouse’s/ lover’s sexual responses and how she reaches orgasm will help you keep your relationship hot, fresh, and exciting on your journey to ultimate pleasure. The cycle of sexual response is made up of a sequence of physical and emotional changes that occur as she becomes sexually aroused. Understanding the cycle and being aware of differences can help you better relate to your spouse’s/ lover’s responses and give you both more frequent and satisfying orgasms. There are five stages, all of which are experienced differently from every woman; even the time in each phase is also different, so different likened to individual DNA or fingerprints. The cycle: 46 | Jul-Aug 2014 ENJOY No 91

Stage One DESIRE: a strong want or need for sexual intimacy, this first occurs in the mind, then the body! This stage can last from a few minutes to several hours. It is sparked by a sexy visual, an erotic text message, a sensual kiss, or even a romantic gesture. This is really important, be creative, open and spontaneous. Stage Two EXCITEMENT: Excitement is the body’s physical response to desire. Blood starts to flow and heart rate increases; this leads to swelling of the clitoris and labia as the vagina also widens and lengthens. This may take some time, on average, women need 20 minutes to reach arousal level. Stage Three PLATEAU: This is the highest moment of sexual excitement before orgasm and may be achieved, lost, and regained several times without orgasm actually happening. Higher heart rate and increased breathing. Stage Four ORGASM: This is the peak of sexual excitement, the moment when your muscles contract involuntarily, and warm sensations flood the body even the mind, God is good! Stage Five RESOLUTION: During this stage the heart rate returns to normal as the body returns to its pre-excitement

stage. For women, who are multiorgasmic, the resolution stage is fluid because women have the capability to move between plateau and orgasm for long periods of time. Exploring female orgasm During female orgasm, the muscles surrounding the clitoris contract, along with the vaginal and anal muscles, and sometimes the deep abdominal and pelvic-floor muscles. Women can have three different types of orgasm. The most well known is the clitoral orgasm, which is achieved by stimulating the clitoris or the “love button”. The vaginal orgasm occurs within the vagina, usually through the stimulation of the G-spot. The third type is a combination of the clitoral and vaginal orgasm, known as a “blended orgasm”. How you achieve these orgasm and what type of orgasm occurs differs from individual, it is key to know where and how she is stimulated. Women are able to experience multiple orgasms in one sexual intimacy. (I believe this is a gift for the pain that she is likely to encounter during child birth.) Be proactive and give more attention to foreplay and her erogenous zones, more kissing, touching, and caressing her. e Enjoy.

Star of the Month

Dede Ayew For God & Country!

he Ghana Black Stars were over and done with the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil in the blink of an eye: two losses and a draw! Obviously, something went wrong. Ghana deserves better, doesn’t it? Nonetheless, here at Enjoy Magazine, our Star of the Month is André Morgan Rami ‘Dede’ Ayew. We have decided to send the wing wizard of Team Ghana a deserved warm thumbs-up by way of saying: “Congrats, brother!”

“We loved his commitment to the team and to this great country of Ghana!”

This talented player indeed gave Ghanaians something to cheer about in Brazil. We loved his commitment to the team and to this great country of Ghana! We appreciated highly his endeavour on the soccer field! When it seemed that others had decided that all was lost, Dede kept running, pushing, kicking the ball with splendid conviction. Should we find one phrase to illustrate Dede’s overall posture and approach each time he is selected to defend the country’s honour on a football pitch since his first appearance on a Ghana national team in August 2007, only comes to mind: ‘For God and country’! Admirable! e

Ghana International Women’s Club Send-off Luncheon in Accra

he atmosphere was that of a joyous party when the Ghana International Women’s Club hosted a lunch at Saffron Restaurant at Osu, Accra on June 11, 2014. The luncheon was held in honour of some of their members who have completed their duty tours in Ghana and are moving on or returning to their home countries. GIWC believes in organizing social events to foster cordial relationship among members and nonmembers. The luncheon at Saffron Restaurant offered an opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts and friendship of Ola, Prudencia (Nigeria), Koko (Japan) and Chris Clark Floulke (USA) who dedicated some of their time in Ghana to raising funds to help and assist some needy groups and communities in the country.

Mrs Kapoor, guest, Mrs Helen Appah, President of GIWC, Mrs Indu Karla, Assistant Project Rep, Mrs Okposuogo, Vice President of GIWC, Prudencia Igbokwe

To the out-going GIWC members, the group says: “Wo ni Nyame nko”! e
