Barcamp Ho chalks 5 years of impact and successful #bcho projects

Image
I'll be going to Ho for the 6th time this weekend. This will be the 5th time for +Barcamp Ho , I've attended every single Barcamp in #HoCity. The other time I was in the capital of the Volta region, I was attending the funeral of the late Eli Aidam , one of the Barcamp Ho co-founders. We miss him , one of the true young heroes of Ghana. He'll be proud of what we've achieved with Barcamp Ho, especially +Junior Camp Ghana . The current team continues to do a great job, led by +Courage Christson Tetteh . +Gameli Adzaho  is still there to give advice and support to others like +Elvis Bomasah   +Ousman Saidy   +Courage ES   +Mark Hammond   +Precious Adade  and +Harry Akligoh . We need to mention folks like +Eric Tackie Tawiah Ankrah  and +Shika Brown as well. The team needs some awesome ladies though, like +Rachel Hormeku  and +Senam Aseye Bridget  who are part of the +Barcamp Ghana  team alongside +kofi yeboah   +Leonard Hagan ...

You might have seen #ReubenRides on social media. It's one of the coolest things happening in Ghana this year and more people need to know about this.  On August 10 th , 2015,  +Reuben Griffiths Bekoe   laced his sneakers,  pumped on his bicycle and started to ride across Ghana to raise money for the  Ghana Cleft foundation  as part of his action at home for the Latitude Global Volunteering, ICS where he volunteered for 10 weeks in Cape Coast.   His cycling tour has taken him from Tarkwa to Takoradi to Cape Coast to Accra to Ho to Tamale and he is currently in Bolga. He's been taking pictures and selfies, posting on social media throughout his journey, ridden with  +Wanlov Kubolor , been on the  +Joy 99.7FM  Super morning show, etc, getting featured by +cecilia amoafowaa sefa  on her blog, etc. Remarkably, he's been taking videofies --- taking videos of himself as he's been riding! See a video montage from his Cape Coast to...

The second Barcamp in Bolgatanga - BarcampBolga is here!

It's early in the wee hours of Saturday morning. I've returned home after being at the Odadee Torch & Bonfire night at Presec. I was wearing a black  +Barcamp Tema  tshirt. Many Odadee recognized me but also recognised Barcamp. Branding. I am not unable to be at  +Barcamp Bolga  which happens today due to prior engagements and personal reasons. I am sad though. I really wanted to be at Barcamp Bolga for the team. But like I've told many people, the Barcamp will run smoothly without me. That's the mark of maturity. The  +Barcamp Ghana  team is taking leadership, spearheading #bcbolga through  +kofi yeboah  and  +Leonard Hagan .  +Rachel Hormeku  and  +Senam Aseye Bridget  have done their part too, with  +Kobe Subramaniam  in the background.  +Abdul Razak Dimbie  and  +Baawuo Gloria  together with  +Daniel Yakuba   +Jon Mydaz  and  +Frank Bruce  are making the sec...
