International Day of the Girl Child and Breast Cancer Awareness marked at Ada West

Image
  Over the weekend, Ada Gems Network (AGN) made a trip to the Ada West district, in the communities of Anyamam and Akplabanya respectively, to create awareness on breast cancer and empower young girls to take charge of their lives. These were done via house-to-house visits and community group discussions. All across the world, women in leadership positions are hampered by numerous obstacles, including pervasive and subtle or blatant attitudes and beliefs that women are unequal to men at home, work and in government. This event was held as part of activities toward the launch of Ada Development Network on 7th November 2020. The awareness creation campaign was marked with education on the need to accept persons with disorders, especially children, as part of the community, and self-check practices in order to detect early symptoms of breast cancer. Speaking to B&FT at the event, Executive President of the Ada Gems Network, Irene Amakie Sebbie said: “Many women with disorders are peop

  Initiating a social network amid a COVID pandemic may appear insensitive, but for the people in Ada State it is a way to own and bring economic development to an area that has not received much governmental support for many years. On November 7, 2020, Ada Development Network (ADN) will officially be launched in a move that sponsors of the Network believe will help to reshape the conversation and implementation of development projects at the community level. The programme, which will take place at the Tsarlekope Beach Resort, is on the theme ‘Unveilling the future of Ada; Rethink approaches and refocus strategies for community development’. ADN, a registered organisation, has taken years of planning and consulting to initiate, and its official launch is expected to help it better coordinate the activities of all fragmentated groups and development projects within the enclave of Ada state. “ADN seeks among many things to unite all fragmented groups of Ada for development; build the nee

All-new Toyota Corolla hits market …a car with everything - including soul

  It is no secret that the 12th-generation Toyota Corolla has soul, which enables the sedan to be driven with feeling. Toyota cars are particularly robust, especially within the cabin and wheel areas. It is really fun to get into a Corolla because it has a boisterous personality.   It is also a rock-solid appliance that you can rely on. After spending time behind the wheel of the new Toyota Corolla, I am very influenced by the fact that it has soul. Whaaaat? Complete with an audio-infotainment upgrade that I would highly recommend, the Corolla is a sedan that made me fall in love with it. The new Corolla is more than just a car Toyota Ghana Company Limited’s blurb says “Nothing has changed. Except everything”. Needless to say, the overall look of the new Corolla is more energetic than most of the contemporary vehicles around. With the edgier styling and more engaging handling, Toyota has given car lovers an opportunity to love a car that has soul.   Traits of words like efficie

The Ford Ranger has received the highest award for quality in the midsize pickup segment in the US; according to the 2020 JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) report. The Initial Quality Study, now in its 34th year, is based on responses from 87,282 purchasers and lessees of new 2020 model year vehicles in the US who were surveyed after 90 days of ownership. The study took place from February through to May 2020. The JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) takes an updated look at the problems owners are having with their new vehicles, including those related to new technologies. The study, redesigned this year, measures components that fail and features that are difficult to use, hard to understand or don’t work the way owners want. Initial quality is determined by the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100), with a lower score reflecting higher quality. “The Initial Quality Study is the industry benchmark for new-vehicle quality and, year after year, automakers app
