🌍✨ Spotlight on AFS Alum Joshua Opoku Agyemang!

We are proud to celebrate Joshua Opoku Agyemang, AFS alum and member of the first cohort of the Sir Cyril Taylor Young African Leaders Program, for playing a pivotal role in Ghana’s landmark National AI Strategy. 🇬🇭🤖

Joshua contributed to stakeholder engagements during the strategy development process and supported planning and ex*****on of the strategy’s official launch — helping shape an important milestone for Ghana’s digital future.

A defining highlight? Joshua led the robotics team behind the AI-powered Bot, built by young Ghanaian engineers, which delivered the very first printed copy of the National AI Strategy to the President — a powerful symbol of innovation placing Ghana’s future directly into the hands of its leadership. 🚀

His journey is a reminder of what young leaders can achieve when vision, innovation, and purpose come together. We are inspired to see AFS alumni contributing to solutions that shape national and global futures.

👏 Congratulations, Joshua — we celebrate your leadership and impact!

Easter is a season that speaks of hope renewed, love restored, and the promise of new beginnings. 🌿✨

At AFS Ghana, we are reminded that just like this season, meaningful connections have the power to transform lives and bring people closer across cultures. It is in these shared moments that understanding grows and unity is strengthened.

May this Easter inspire reflection, deepen connections, and open the door to new possibilities for all.

Happy Easter from all of us at AFS Ghana. 💙

🤝📚Pass It On Project

AFS IEP Ghana is pleased to partner with the Pass It On Project, a powerful community-driven initiative organised by Sarah Kpoh, our School Club Patron at Kyabobo Girls Senior High School.

The Pass It On Project collects gently used storybooks, textbooks, drawing books, atlases, past questions, and other learning materials and passes them on to brilliant but needy children in rural and underserved communities who lack access to books and quality learning resources.

We are especially proud that this initiative was started by an AFS Ghana volunteer — a true reflection of Active Global Citizenship in action. It reminds us that being a global citizen means being compassionate, responsive, and deeply connected to our communities, especially to those with the least access and opportunity.

📍 AFS IEP Ghana office (No. 7 K Asante Avenue, Westlands) is a proud book deposit point, and we welcome individuals, schools, and organisations to drop off books and learning materials to support this meaningful cause.

🎯 The objectives of the Pass It On Project are to:
• Provide access to educational materials for rural students
• Promote literacy and lifelong learning through reading clubs
• Encourage mentorship and career guidance
• Foster sustainable community development

Together, we can help ensure that every book finds a new purpose and every child gets a chance to learn.

📚✨ Pass it on. Change a life.
