Ghana\u2019s representatives at the 2015 Enactus World Cup put up a convincing performance that left both judges and observers impressed when they took the stage to present in the competition\u2019s preliminary rounds.<\/p>\n
In the allotted 25 minutes, Team Ghana laid out their case in an authoritative manner as they spoke passionately about their three life changing projects.<\/p>\n
These included the EDU 4 Life, Shea Business Improvement and the Enactus Touching Lives initiatives.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”EGuyaLwqVoR0t7uygYyoMAlkkUZ6Ui2R”]In their Shea Business Improvement project, the team focused on empowering women who work in shea butter production to boost their technical knowledge, to maximize output and increase their income potential.<\/p>\n
The Ghana Team comprised of Mohammed Sadik, Solomon Daniel Arthur, Rukaya Fuseini, Angela Letsu, Abdul Rahman Ashraf and Azoteyine Sally; all students of Tamale Polytechnic.<\/p>\n
Ghana is in the same group with competition heavy weights Germany and Zimbabwe, as well as Australia in what is considered the \u2018group of death\u2019 by several participants.<\/p>\n
The Enactus World Cup is an annual event that brings 3, 500 entrepreneurial students and top global leaders together.<\/p>\n
The students showcase their ideas to panels of judges in a series of engaging and challenging sessions after which a global winner is announced.<\/p>\n
Reactions from the Team<\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking to Citi News<\/strong>\u2019 correspondent at the event, Philip Ashon, the students expressed their joy at making such an impact.<\/p>\n Solomon Daniel Arthur indicated, \u201d I am so excited. I don\u2019t know what to say. All the countries are so proud of our projects and we are so grateful. \u201c<\/p>\n On her part, Rukaya Fuseini noted: \u201c When I entered I was shaking. While on stage, my legs were still shaking for some time but my team\u2019s confidence helped me through.\u201d<\/p>\n Reactions from Participants<\/strong><\/p>\n Several participants from across the world expressed their excitement about the projects from the Ghana team.<\/p>\n \u201cI think they had a really good presentation especially that presentation on education. It was quite relevant to the community.\u00a0 The project on the \u2018kayayei\u2019 (head porters) is quite ingenious because we face similar problems in my home country of Zimbabwe. I think I will be able to go back home and implement some of their ideas\u201d \u2013 Tinotenda Murove, Enactus Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n \u201cPresentation was very energetic. I was glued from start to finish. I just loved the way they worked on their projects, the spirit that is within them and the passion. They had an emotional connection with their projects and that showed that they loved what they do.\u201d \u2013 Winnie Hamini \u2013 Enactus Swaziland<\/p>\n I think they can improve on their PowerPoint presentation because there were a few glitches here and there and some spelling mistakes. The creativity and confidence and impact of their projects however, made up for all that.\u201d \u2013 Masimba Viriri, Enactus Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Philip Kofi Ashon\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ghana\u2019s representatives at the 2015 Enactus World Cup put up a convincing performance that left both judges and observers impressed when they took the stage to present in the competition\u2019s preliminary rounds.
