Last evening, Vlisco closed their doors for a private fashion show and charity auction event on behalf of the Infanta Malaria Prevention Foundation. Fashionista GH was there to cover the lovely event. The IMPF members and a select group of their friends enjoyed a look at dresses from some of Ghana's most promising designers. They also had the opportunity to bid on exclusive, special edition fabrics, which will be sewn into bespoke gowns from the featured designers. Mina Evans, I can't wait to see what you design for me!!

{Ghana School Bag}

Almost exactly one year ago, I had the privilege of chairing the Media Launch for The Ghana School Bag, an innovative new product out of the Kokrobitey Institute. Aside from providing schoolchildren a new range of affordable, stylish and unique backpacks, the project helps to develop a culture of recycling and environmental sustainability from a young age. Additionally, the local manufacturing of these bags provides opportunities for employment within the community.

The Ghana School Bag enjoys considerable support from a number of major private corporations, including DDP. Progressive educational materials were also produced in the form of environmental flash cards, ABC chart and teacher's manual were supported by Finatrade. 

Last week, we had the honor to witness the delivery of 500 schoolbags to students at the Omega School in Kokrobite. Omega schools purchased 20000 recycled school bags for all their students. Seeing the look of happiness on the student's faces was simply heartwarming. It left us with a clear impression that this project will surely be a success and will go far to advance its goals of making Ghana a more beautiful, cleaner and environmentally active society.

{Moco Foods}

Pepper is as essential an ingredient in Ghanaian food as tomatoes in Italian food. Here, many people enjoy pepper either as a sauce accompaniment or as a main seasoning in every meal of the day. 

To find a robust, flavorful and delicious pepper sauce that has been prepared under international hygienic standards is an extra special treat. The makers of Moco Foods have managed to bring a fantastic new specialty food product to the Ghanaian market. Enjoying their product leaves you with an exciting dilemma. It blows your socks off yet you are simultaneously looking for water to cool off and yearning for more pepper sauce for your next bite! 

What makes the dining experience even more satisfying is the back story on Moco's founders and their solid corporate commitment to environmental sustainability, community upliftment and providing employment opportunities to the disabled. When a young professional who has received a top notch international education chooses to come home and to use his valuable expertise and experience for the development of his country, such a choice must be celebrated and respected.

You can learn more about Moco here and if you are as lucky as I was, you will get your hands on a jar as soon as possible. Be sure to let us know what you think.

{Heel The World}

Many are attracted to Ghana's"Gold Coast" by the promise of wealth found in our natural resources, Oil & Gas, Mining and Cocoa. For generations however, our finest resource has been and remains to be, our human resource. Ghanaian students excel in universities across the globe and the ingenuity and creativity of our artisans and musicians is truly admirable.

AccraPremium had the privilege of meeting the young men behind Heel The World and suffice it to say, we were completely impressed by their professionalism, their creativity, their work ethic and the sense of positive purpose behind their business practices.

While Heel The World is primarily a men's shoe manufacturing company, there is an element of socially responsible entrepreneurship at the heart of their business model. An integral tool of communicating their message of entrepreneurial upliftment is their signature souvenir, the Empowerment Beads.

These young men, in collaboration with other organizations offer small business management and skills development training for aspiring entrepreneurs. You can follow their blog here. Through their leadership and initiative, these gentlemen and their young team demonstrate that Ghana's true golden years are yet to come.

Sharing your experience and wisdom with younger people can be refreshing and uplifting. By sharing your story and secrets with others, you help to put your past in perspective and that can help you to see your own future as full of promise.

This week, AccraPremium took a trip to a beautiful, ocean side village in the Volta Region to give a talk to students at the Atorkor Vocational Training Centre. It was a great experience for all involved.

If you have a bit of free time, please use some of it to share your experience with others. If you would like ideas on schools or other places that could benefit from your wisdom, please contact us.

XOXO - Melissa
