CHOSEN CHILDREN ACQUIRE SKILLS IN BAKING AND INCREASE KNOWLEDGE ON THEIR HEALTH

Most needy children around the globe have only learnt to survive with some growing up without experiencing any form of love, support or encouragement. The Ennoble Team as part of the Baking With The Needy Project visited the Chosen Children’s Home at Darkuman, Accra – Ghana. The visit brought lots of laughter and happiness to over 60 kids at the orphanage. It also built their confidence and improved knowledge on their sexual and reproductive health and personal hygiene. Additionally, they were mentored and empowered to aim higher always whiles they take their education serious and acquired basic skills in baking.

The kids were divided into two groups and taken through the basics of baking meat pie and chips. They were allowed to try their hands on it and have fun. Interestingly, most of the children were enthused and wanted to learn more. Through their numerous questions about the process of making the meat pie and chips, it was clear that they had interest in picking up such vocational skills and putting it to use once they get the opportunity. The team was more thrilled when the Care Takers at the home also showed interest in learning and participated as well.

Whiles the pastries were in the oven, the team took time to educate the children on their sexual and reproductive health rights and personal hygiene. A member of the Ennoble Team, who is a health tutor, took the children through issues concerning menstruation among the girls and also the reproductive health of both genders. Some of these young girls already had babies and thus the need to pay much attention to them to help prevent more of such occurrences. The team made sure to create a friendly and open environment for the children to be able to ask questions bothering their minds and seek answers to their confusions. Even the care takers had questions and sought for more knowledge.

Further, there was a mentorship session on carrier choices and how to attain their aims to go higher in life. They were advised to take their education or vocation seriously and be more focus as they grow, since that is the only way to achieve their individual goals.

Soon after the mentorship, empowerment and education session, haaaa the bakes were ready. The meat pie and chips were shared among the children with some drinks and ice cream to enjoy themselves and have fun together. It was time for the team to say bye bye to the children even though the looks on their faces tells they wanted more! They appealed to the team to visit them more often and teach them several other skills and impact more knowledge.

Ennoble Africa Foundation will be carrying out this activity every quarter targeting several other homes and centers with the less privileged. The Ennoble team is therefore requesting for more support and donations.

Baking with these kids were really fun and all thanks to our sponsors which includes; Verna Mineral Water (Twillium Ghana), Yamvita (Promasidor), GB Foods, Bee Quench, Olam Grains and Fan Milk Ghana. The kids were full of gratitude towards these sponsors and Ennoble Africa Foundation for organizing such a wonderful programme.

BEAUTY AND LIFESTYLE – BE-YOU-TIFUL

Image
   Beauty, to many is the way people look outwardly and inwardly.   Others limit beauty to the physical looks of a person, place or a   thing. Beauty can also be seen in the culture and lifestyle of people.   This is to say beauty goes far beyond physical looks especially     now,  with the pressure of daily demands and busy schedules, some   people hardly have the time to even look into the mirror or take   proper care of themselves.  Moreover, the way people dress, talk and even live also brings out   some beauty in them. Thus the saying “there is beauty in diversity”.   The knowledge of "beauty" often involves the understanding of   some entity as being in stability and harmony with nature. Physical   beauty often implies sexual attractiveness or desirability, but can   also be distinct from the two. Since beauty is a subjective   experience, it is often said that "beauty lies in the eye of the   beholder". A subject of beauty is anything tha

A PERSONAL VIEW ON: “In The Lonely, Good Company of Books” by Richard Rodriguez

Image
                           The piece of literature brings out efforts and struggles in reading tough or difficult books. From Rodriguez’s experience which tells us that reading difficult books for a sense of self-achievement is not a good way to read. On his part, Rodriguez just reads for a sense of accomplishment as it brings him confidence after helping him to conquer the awkward silence during reading time. The idea that “books will make [him] ‘educated’” helps him “to overcome [his] fear of silence” while reading. He never knew what kinds of books were most interesting to him. He blindly followed the book list without even realizing what he needed. What Rodriguez was enthusiastic about was never the content of the book but the ability to claim that he had finished it. He mocks the experience by ironically describing his feeling after reading with “in a ceremony of great pride”. The writer drew our attention to the fact that, when reading, we must read for knowledge and understand

Unravelling the Legal Maze: A Startling Journey into the Laws Governing the Ghana Flag and the Coat of Arms

Image
  -By Hubert Tieku The saying which goes like, “we live to learn” , immediately made sense to when I had the shock of the year, 2024. And I believe almost all my friends who range from law students to lawyers and almost all lay persons will be equally shocked when they learn about some of the laws to which my eyes were just opened. I am saying this because I see them flout these laws “unknowingly” on a daily basis. One faithful morning, I was introduced to my senior and in the course of the introduction he passed a comment which led to the writing of this article. That morning I had a badge of the coat of arms on the collar of my suit jacket. Upon seeing the coat of arms he asked me why I was wearing it and I replied “I am wearing it to demonstrate my patriotism” . He said, “kindly go and read the laws on Ghana’s flag and emblem and come and tell me if you are actually allowed to wear the coat of arms on your suit.” At that moment I said to my self, “of course I am allowed to wear it b
