A very happy New Year 2010 to Ghana and to you!
We have been very quiet online since the beginning of this year, but very active offline.
YLM has a lot of projects for the youth of Ghana and will share our progress here for you to offer suggestions, constructive criticism and get actively involved.
I wanted to remind all of us that in Ghana, a "youth" is a person under 35 years of age. It does not mean that all the under-35 should sit and wait for the over-35 to provide help and advice; indeed, we all have to pitch in to make Ghana grow and fulfill our brilliant individual and collective destinies.
YLM is particularly interested to promote education, vocational training, agribusiness and other initiatives conducive to self-sufficiency (as individuals and as a nation) as well as to our beloved Ghana's image abroad.
We are now starting a few initiatives within our remit. Keep tuned, as we'll be communicating about them here.
In the meantime, please feel free to share your specific, concrete ideas on actions you may want to undertake but lack the means, manpower or anything else to get it out of the ground. Your ideas questions, etc., will be shared with the YLM Yahoogroup, who may help with ideas, contacts, advice, or even a different perspective. Very often, the passionate initiator needs someone less involved, yet interested and knowledgeable, to give perspective, a little more detachment to be able to see the bigger picture and smooth the few wrinkles that look like insuperable mountains to the person who is too close to them for objectivity.
With dedication and hard work, we will succeed!
