POEM BY ZUBAIDA ABDUL KARIM

POEM TITLE: BOYS

BOYS   BOYS BOYS

Boys are dangerous.

When they see a beautiful girl,

They chase her like a golden stool,

They say nice words to her buy her present,

But when they impregnate her,

They sack her like a tin of sardine

GIRLS SAY NO TO BOYS

GIRL BEWARE OF BOYS

GIRLS SAYS SAY NO TO BOYS TO BRIGHT YOUR FUTURE

BECAUSE YOUR FUTURE IS YOUR LIFE.

Tech needs girls

STARTING YOUNG: The tech needs girls’ organization

By leadership project: Thursday 23, 2014

Tech needs girls is an interactive workshop that engage girls to create technology and not just consume it we have  2 co-founders Regina Agyare CEO OF Soronko solutions AND rasheeda yehuza founder at click trade Ghana and 10 mentors who are dedicated to change these girls lives through technology. Information Technology increasingly permeates every aspect of society and provides the foundation for most modern innovation, our girls are avid use of new technologies but to date, girls and women continue to be significantly underrepresented in technical occupations.

Tech needs girls is run by Soronko Solutions which is a social enterprise that brings social change using technology. We develop technology solutions across different channels ,web, mobile, pos, tech needs girls came as part of the social projects we run, we just completed an interactive session where we took 50 girls on how to create websites develop mobile applications networking and designing innovative software. We wanted the girls to start to create technology.2013 was a very good year for us because we were able to get more girls to participate and develop keen interest in pursuing information technology as career roles.

For this year 2014 we are happy to announce a second edition of tech needs girls which comes into collaboration with the achievers book club which is an independent ghananian non-profit organisation with a simple mission: education for all girls in slums in Ghana. Their story started with a girl called Amina who lives in the Accra slum of Nima and despite excelling at school was forced into marriage at the age of 12, what happened next was that in 2011 She co-founded the ABC to help prevent similar situations to be suffered by other young girls in the community this mad Amina an inspiration to many other girls.

Khadijah Saheed's story

First of all what I don’t like about the community is

            a)  washing in water bodies
            b)  burning rubbish
            c)  Cutting down trees.


Secondly, people don’t educate their self to become a responsible person in future .and some also like smoking in the community and they are not responsible to their children so that their children will educate and become someone in future example doctor, pilot, teacher , nurse etc.

Thirdly people are saying there is no money to educate the children so they let their children work example hairdresser etc.

Fourthly, if a child goes to school he or she likes going out of the school and go home and lie to their parent that they are sick so that they should not let them go to school and become a good person in future to look after their parents.                             
That’s my story about my community 

STORY ABOUT HOW A PARENT TREATED HER CHILD

MY STORY IS ABOUT  HOW A PARENT TREATED HER CHILD

First of all, what I have studied in some parents is that, they don’t treat their children the way they should be treated. Some of their treatment leads to certain activities like: Prostitution, Arm robbery etc.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who was named Lovia Ofori, she lived in a village called Adom pata kingdom with her parent. The chief of that village was not well educated so one day, his wife gave birth to two bouncing baby boys and he does not know how to give names to them because he is not well educated when the children grew up, he was thinking about how to take them to school. Lovia’s parents were not well educated so they don’t know the essence of education so they did not educate their daughter. Lovia grew at the age of 13 years and become pregnant because of how her parent treated her. After pregnancy, Lovia left the house and became a street girl selling ice water so, when it  was time for Lovia to deliver she was shouting. Help! Help! I am coming to deliver a baby and people didn't mind and they were talking about her parent’s education .One afternoon taxi driver saw Lovia lying down the street and quickly took her to hospital. Lovia gave birth to a baby girl, who was named Comfort. Comfort grew up to be a pretty girl. Lovia remembered how she was treated and she decided to treat Comfort the way she was treated. Every morning, Comfort will go to the standing pipe and steal people’s goods. 

SO PLEASE TREAT YOUR CHILDREN IN SUCH AWAY THAT THEY MIGHT NOT GO WAYWARD.
