About Me

I am a student of Ghana Institute of Journalism and come from La in the Greater Accra Region Of Ghana. I love working with and for children.I am with the Children and Youth In Broadcasting- Curious Minds as a youth volunteer volunteer.A group which advocates the rights of young people.I am also the board chairman of KetekeNews: a newspaper publishing firm in my school. Aside schooling, i visit deprived communities and schools to teach children about their rights,responsibilities and other issues of concern like the MDGs.I look forward to be a journalist in future.

About the MDGs

I live in a community where parents don't value education, and therefore do not send their children to school.It is therefore not surprising to see children loitering around during school hours. Also,prestige is attached to young girls who get pregnant at a very tender age. This has influenced many girls in my community to abandon school to have children. Some of them have contracted diseases and the unfortunate ones died. Having had the chance to be in school and having much knowledge about the MDG's,it will be prudent on my part to let my community members and other people know the essence of education and adolescent sexual and reproductive health issues. The situation in my community directly relates to the MDGs. Again i am fortunate to be a radio presenter of a young people's programme in Accra. I see this platform(media) as a tool to get in touch with stake holders and citizens alike in contributing towards the attainment of the MDGs by 2011.
