  3. WHAT IS IN MY HEART In this world, we wouldn’t feel, as so many of us do, that what happens around the world is somehow less real than what happens on our doorstep. We’d feel a sense of empowerment, that we’re all in this together, and that our choices really can change the direction the world moves in. Global communication technologies now mean that we all know that millions of people are living without access to the basics. The suffering of a child in a community in ASSIN CENTRAL ought to be as abhorrent to us as the suffering of a child next door. From this starting point of connection, we might then naturally move on to ask the question we’d naturally ask if it were our friend in trouble: What can I do?

  4. “If you think you’re too small to make a difference, you’ve never been in bed with a mosquito.” Your personal choices and actions make a difference. In our interconnected world, your actions and choices, and the actions and choices of the institutions and governments you choose to support (or not), will affect the lives of people both close to home and further afield. “From a state of powerlessness that manifests itself in a feeling of ‘I cannot’, activism contains an element of collective self-confidence that results in a feeling of ‘we can.’”

  5. WHO WE ARE The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) is the new political party that has been formed by the 2008 flag bearer of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom The motto of the PPP is “Prosperity in Peace. ” Its symbols consist of a full glowing red sun on a white background with red and white as its official colors Vision of the Party: Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom has a vision for a united Ghana and job creation. His slogan says “jobs, jobs, jobs
