Ghana Carnival Parade Project
Accra Press Conference announcement
“Carnival comes home”
2012 is the year that ‘Ghana’ will resonate across the world. This year will see international celebrations for the 55th year of Independence on 6th March, with cultural performances and dances already planned for Accra, London, New York and Bremen; the commonwealth celebrations with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee; and the 20th anniversary of PANAFEST in July and August.
To make this year a year for all Ghanaian communities to participate, the Government and the Ministry of Tourism have joined with the UK Centre for Carnival Arts in Luton, UK, The Ghana Society in the UK and Ghana Miss Tourism, the UK’s only Ghanaian carnival troupe, to create a large scale carnival parade for Accra in September 2012. This new partnership will seek to enhance tourism in Ghana through community celebration and putting Accra on the map for carnival.
The theme for the carnival will focus on ‘coming back home’, designed to stimulate tourism from the wider Diaspora, with the long term aim of making carnival a sustainable annual endeavour.
Spearheaded by Paul Anderson MBE CEO of UK Centre for Carnival Arts in partnership with the Ghana Society UK, Ghana Miss Tourism, the project will start with a press conference held on 2ndApril 2012, 14.00 at Afrikiko Spot in Accra. The press conference will unveil the artistic carnival plans that will seek to be reflective of Ghanaian traditional values and character.
Ghanaian CEO of UK Centre for Carnival Arts, Paul Anderson MBE says, “the UK Centre for Carnival Arts is proud to be bringing the values and community spirit of carnival back to Ghana.”
He added: “Carnival as a reputable international tourism offer stimulating economic growth, developing sustainable employment opportunities and transforming lives is already well established in the Caribbean, Latin America and other parts of Africa. Therefore bringing carnival to Ghana as a significant annual event is both timely and well placed.”
Minister for Tourism, Hon. Akua Dansua said, “We are delighted to work with the UK Centre for Carnival Arts to enhance tourism in Accra that will reflect Ghanaian culture so vibrantly. We all need to get behind the project to ensure its success. It’s a wonderful opportunity for our local community in Accra to work with international experts in carnival.”
President of The Ghana Society UK, Maria Lovell said, “The Ghana Society UK showcases Ghanaian culture and traditions each year at Luton’s International Carnival. This is an opportunity to fuse our experiences here with other values and genres carnival and to celebrate this back home in Ghana. Carnival has the opportunity to be a national event, bringing everyone together in a colourful and rich celebration of Ghanaian culture through costume, music and dance.”
The carnival planned for 29th September 2012 seeks to bring together 1,000 school children, young adults and aspiring performers from the different communities across Accra to learn how to make carnival costume, music and dance. International artists, recruited by UK Centre for Carnival Arts, will provide expert guidance and support to help Ghanaian artists create a national carnival parade, achieving a high profile event, designed and performed by local people, with the potential to draw in future visitors and investment into the Capital city.
Through this project, the partnership is seeking support from sponsors, investors and creative partners to explore a sustainable future for a national carnival event that can contribute immensely to Ghana’s tourism through community celebration.

Self Determination and Growth
We all have to grow up sometime. Growing up is a part of life that takes us through a series of changes and into maturity. The problem is most people are underdeveloped, which presents a series of problems, which include hindering the person from developing self-determination. We have to resolve these issues otherwise; it is going to take us through a chain of events, which can lead to complete disaster.
Underdevelopment leads to crime, dishonesty, thief, greed, selfishness, chaos, and gradually to murder, terrorism, and more. We see much of this activity happening to us today. It makes sense that lack of maturity and underdevelopment is a big part of the problem. We all must strive to become part of a solution rather than a problem.
The only way to become part of the solution is to build self-determination and work through self-growth. It will help you take control of your life. Self-development processes help you to build on skills, and to work toward a higher plane of consciousness. You can develop these skills in many ways. Some of the proven techniques, such as meditation works, but you would have to practice the procedure daily and consistently to ensure that you work through self-development and determination.
Other techniques you can use include yoga. It makes sense to study the steps before getting started however. Yoga has many steps, which you can gradually work your way up to the higher levels of awareness and yogini or yogi powers. The processes will help you develop self-discipline, which is the greatest point to achieving and developing skills that help you to continue growing into self-determination.
Through these techniques, you can develop new skills, new ideas, and work toward improving your health, overall life. You will find contentment, which makes you feel good about yourself. Instead of feeling despair, regret, hate, anger, resentment, sadness, you will find confident, esteemed, and in control of your life.
Other techniques can help you advance toward a better tomorrow. You can visit the World Wide Net to find ways to work through self-development and determination. Instead of staying stuck, or being part of a problem, find answers to manipulate you to self-growth in order to become part of the solution.
Determination builds motivation. It empowers you to see things in larger views, rather in smaller sections. When you are able to see the big picture, it inspires you to make better decisions. This is what life is all about. We all must learn to make better decisions in order to be part of the solution.
You can take control of your mind, body, and life now by researching the new age. Along this area, you will find tips, hints, information, and more. We recommend that you continue learning and building up resources to empower your mind to take control of your life and future.
Get in the groove now. Tomorrow is another day, but not one of us has a surety that tomorrow will arrive. Instead of putting off things, get in the habit to become active to make things happen. Only you have the power and control to advance, work for a better future and stay afloat in this high-dollar, greed-impact, and selfish, revolving world. Instead of letting things get you down, realize that only you matters. Find ways to help you. Make constructive changes, and do not worry about changing others. You only have the power to retrain your body and mind to respond to your commands.
While you are online view tips and hints for building motivation, and look into the mentoring centers and educational programs if you have problem developing your self-determination.

Three Factors for Financial Success
Written by Brian Tracy
What do wealthy people do or have that enables them to accomplish so much more than the average? I believe that these people are successful as a result of what I call leverage. Leverage is the key to maximizing and multiplying your potential for success and financial achievement. Here are three examples of leverage that you can develop to achieve financial independence:
Become an Expert
First, become an expert in your chosen field. Read all the books, take all the courses, listen to all the audio programs. Second, specialize in those areas that are of greatest importance and greatest value to your company or to your customers. And the third key is know your product or service inside out. Aim to be recognized as the industry expert in your field. Remember the person who has the expertise has a far greater contribution to make than the person whose knowledge is just average.
Develop Your Skills
The second type of leverage is skill. The better you are at your job, the more you will be paid. The top 20 percent of salespeople earn as much as ten and fifteen times the average earnings of the bottom 80 percent. There are three keys to developing the leverage of skill. First, make a decision to be the best. Pay any price. Make any sacrifice. Go any distance to become excellent at what you do. Second, engage in continuous improvement. Never allow yourself to become satisfied or complacent at your current level of skill. And third, always strive to exceed the expectations of your customers, your boss, of the people you serve. Always do more and better than you’re paid for.
Save Your Money
The third type of leverage is money. Money is a powerful source of leverage and usually follows the development of knowledge and skill in your field. One of the reasons that it takes money to make money is that the accumulation of funds is an essential step in the development of the personal qualities and character that must precede the achievement of financial independence. In other words, you become the person capable of becoming financially independent by accumulating the funds that are necessary for you to achieve it.
Action Exercises
Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas on personal leverage into action:
First, resolve today to become an expert in your chosen field. Set it as a goal, make a plan and work every day to become a little bit better in the most important things you do.
Second, develop the habit of saving money out of every single paycheck. It was once said that, “If you cannot save money, the seeds of greatness are not in you.” The very act of regular saving changes your character and gets you ready to achieve financial independence.
