Sadly, we also celebrate the life of a beloved member of our community who has passed on to be with the Lord.
Through it all, we acknowledge and thank God for His blessings, and we express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your amazing support. In this report, we will share incredible stories from our CLP journey and attached are inspiring stories and pictures showcasing the achievements of our Beacons of Excellence and Fellows.

Guest Speaker Series

In the month of May and June, we had the pleasure of hosting remarkable individuals as part of our Guest Speaker Series. The Guest speakers were Mr. Edem Senanu from Advocates for Christ in Ghana and Mr. Benjamin John from Christian Concern in the UK. In May, Mr. Senanu spoke on the importance of upholding the pillars of society.

Mr. Benjamin John gave a vivid perspective on the state of society in the United Kingdom. These presentations have challenged the Fellows of cohort 5 to be more intentional about being responsible for upholding the pillars of our society. Other speakers scheduled to meet fellows in the months to come will cover the pillars of business, politics, science and entertainment..

In the month of July, Rev. Emmanuel Osae-Addo and Rev. Edwin Adjei provided thought-provoking ideas on traditional governance.. The theme for this engagement was, why and how Christians should seek to influence the pillar of culture and traditional governance. The Guest Speaker Rev. Osae-Addo challenged Christians to appreciate their cultural heritage but also actively bring change to traditional rulership..

A Taste Of CLP At Legon

A "Taste of CLP" provides individuals with a glimpse into the Central Leadership Program experience. We had an inspiring time at the University of Ghana with about 40 participants. Mrs. Ewurama Bennin, our facilitator for the session, led participants through activities that helped participants appreciate the true size of the African continent in terms of land mass and population.

These ideas helped to debunk some erroneous ideas about the significance of the continent. There was also a discussion on the need for young people to take an active interest in the state of Africa and support its development. Beacons of Excellence were present to share their personal CLP experience and to answer questions.

CLP Mentoring Program

To begin this year's mentoring program there was a session for mentors with Mr. Michael Ohene-Effah on Starting A Mentoring Relationship. Special thanks to our mentor relations volunteers, BOE Kove Dickson, BOE Joyous Ocran, BOE Grace Osei and BOE Baaba Bondzi.

After being inspired by the Leadership In Africa forum they hosted together in CLP, Benjamin Asiaw and Afua Ansah (both from chorhort 4) have gone a step further to give back to society by starting the LEAD AFRICA HUB. They have partnered with one another to help change the narrative of Africa in the minds of other young people like themselves. They use this as an opportunity to share the knowledge they have acquired from CLP. lso, BOE Benjamin Asiaw has also been training young people in public speaking.

A Beacon Of Excellence Goes Home

On the 18th of June , 2023 the Central Leadership Program lost Alberta Oduraa Quartey who was from the first cohort. At the time of her passing she was pursuing her PhD studies at Clemson University in the United States of America.
In her honor and to help the CLP community through the grieving process, there was an online session to celebrate her life on the 21st of June 2023.
The online meeting had over 100 attendees and has been viewed on YouTube by over 11,000 viewers. The Central Leadership Program also dedicated a week to posting about her life and impact. Kindly click here to view the posts.

Oduraa was a gem and she made her leadership felt in many ways. At the induction ceremony, she gave a speech on behalf of her cohort. As a fellow of the Central Leadership Program, she worked with her team to complete the walls of the Yayaso DA Primary School in Ejisu. At graduation, she was awarded the prize for being the best Voice Note Contributor. In her home church, Calvary Temple, she was a part of the choir and a Peer Leader at the Teen Chapel. As a student, she was the Financial Secretary and Music Ministry Head for the New Breed New Wine Choir. For her National service, she served as a research and teaching assistant at the Department of Telecommunications Engineering at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. Whiles doing her National Service, she was also part of the choir at Eagle's Temple in Kumasi. On social media, Oduraa supported others on their academic journeys and had over 1.7 K followers..
Oduraa will be sorely missed by the CLP community but we are confident that she is with the Lord and we will meet her again in glory. In Ghana, She is survived by her Mother Jumoke Lafenwa and her sister Laura Aba Quartey.
