The Kofi A. Tawiah Foundation has launched its maiden national community service contest opened to students from upper primary to second cycle nationwide.
Dubbed "The Kofi Tawiah Good Citizenship Challenge,” the contest seeks to develop essential character traits in young people through service learning and the promotion of good citizenship.
The winning team will receive a whooping GHC15,000, with the second and third-placed teams parting with GHC10,000 and GHC5,000 respectively.
Contestants will have the chance to contribute to addressing issues in their communities whilst developing essential traits for good citizenship.
The contest presents an exciting opportunity for students across Ghana to learn, serve and impact their communities.
The topic for the contest requires students to describe a community service initiative by their respective teams. They would then be required to discuss the positive impacts that resulted from the initiative and explain how this can help shape their character and commitment to making meaningful contributions to society.
How to Participate:
1. To participate, students would need to leverage on the power of collaboration and form a team of at least 5 students with staff supervision. The teams would then identify problems in their communities, brainstorm on solutions and take the initiative to resolve them.
Interested participants (teams) are expected to share supplementary documents including videos, pictures, testimonials etc. pertaining to the project they embarked on. In relation to a team's project, they are to provide contact information of the organization or person(s) they engaged during their Community Service.
Submission of final essay detailing the community service project embarked on together with supplementary documents should be emailed to goodcitizenshipchallenge@ktawiahfoundation.org or sent via post to P.O. Box 3837 Cantonments – Accra.
Whilst deadline for expression of interest, including submission of team members, school and a brief of intended project is 20th November 2023, the deadline for submission of essay is 2nd February 2024.
