Letter form the President
Dear National Coordinator, Board, Patron, Partners,
Members, other Campus Chapters and Supporters of Patrots
Ghana Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and
Technology (KNUST) Chapter.
My glorious gratitutde first of all goes to the most High, and
then to you all for the support, contributions and advice
towards the various successful activities and events of this
chapter throughout this academic year. This year was a
continuation of the Chapter’s movement of impact around
schools, where various talks were given on different topics
including Patriotism, Peace Keeping and Reproductive Health.
One of the many accomplishments of this year is, in
Partnership with the Young at Heart Ghana, we made
consecutive visitation at the Deduako Special School, as a
continuation of a project initiated in the previous academic
year.
The Chapter being able to implement projects in the fields of
Reproductive health, Peace keeping and Patriotism has been of
a great impact to both the patriots and the schools we visited. It
has therefore been a wonderful year though with limited time,
yet we pledge to continue with our effort towards developing
the nation with Passion. We have also initiated measures to
ensure the sustainability of the progress we have made and
would support the next group of patriots to lead this honorable
chapter. Like Kwame Nkrumah said
“Countrymen, the task ahead is great indeed and heavy is the
responsibility : and yet it is a noble and glorious
challenge….”We look forward making more impact in Ghana
everywhere we may find ourselves.
Thank You.
Abdul kadir Shamsiya
President.
