A group of entrepreneurs to converge in Kumasi as Think Ghana Host Second Kumasi Konnect

-

A group of entrepreneurs and innovators will be converging again in Kumasi to connect, share and build together. If you missed out on the maiden edition of the Kumasi Konnect program at the KNUST Campus, then don’t miss out on this. You will have another opportunity to meet deep thinking and influential youth to interact, share ideas and motivate to propel you for the corporate world.

The maiden edition held on 25th July 2014, had Mr. Frank Boateng, who spoke on "Turning Passion into Business". Mr. Frank Boateng is a Serial Entrepreneur, Executive VP for XP Resources LLC in Houston USA and Country MD for EquipXP Mining and Construction Ghana Ltd.

The networking was great with many proposing the meeting should be held every month. Participants said Kumasi Konnect created opportunities for skills development and application among the youth. The participants were inspired by Mr. Frank’s diligence towards his dreams and his utmost hard work in turning his ideas and passion into a business.  

Interactions led to new opportunities for collaboration among attendees. We hope that the new social capital forged would spark projects that would be of benefit to communities. The participants contributed and shared their personal entrepreneurial experiences, challenges they face and how they are overcoming those challenges as well as asking thought provoking questions which culminated into meaningful discussions.

The second Kumasi Konnect will host Valerie Okudzeto, CEO of Clean Team Ghana, who will speak on the topic "Leveraging Opportunities for Personal Development", and the event is slated for 4th September, 2014 at KNUST's Tech Hub. The Mandela Washington Fellow will share how she’s been able to find and grab opportunities to build her career and profile.

Kumasi Konnect is an initiative by the GhanaThink Foundation and sponsored by the TechHub in KNUST. This event series will further commune the network built out of Barcamp Kumasi. Stay tuned via Barcamp Kumasi on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ or the #KumasiKonnect hashtag.

By Joseph Osei Standing in a bus coming from church I see a man mercilessly beaten beyond recognition. Disfigured with only god knows what offensive objects. Voices around me conjecture He should be a thief; he could be beaten to death they recount incidents of instant mob justice as we drive on away from the sight Questions run haywire in my mind What if he did it; what if he didn't do it. What might have driven him into this? Is it fair? What could be going on through his mind What could be going on through his heart Naked and broken, his dignity, pride and freedom snatched from him Is his spirit alive, does his soul still live A dead man whose body just has enough strength to lead him to the slaughter. No one to speak for him No one to defend him Where are his parents Who is responsible for him What should instincts be doing in the heart and intestines of a mother whose son's life hangs in the balance The balance to the mercy or cruelty of people...

Dear Single men, Nowadays getting a quality woman to marry is very difficult. Especially ladies who are responsible, not materialistic, and faithful. Noble wife materials are as scarce as rare Gold.
