Gbetsoolor Nii Ashitey Akomfra III at the launch of the festival Teshie Homowo 2019
Teshie Mantse, of Gbetsoolor Nii Ashitey Akomfra III, launched the Teshie Homowo 2019 festival by calling on citizens to live in peace for the development of the region.
The festival, which had the theme: "To take hunger, strive for excellence", will begin Monday, August 6 to Friday, October 25, 2019.
Among the many activities planned for the festival is the launch of a 500,000 GHC social intervention project called the Akro Foundation, funded from income from land, bequests, grants, donations donations, investments and voluntary contributions from various sources.
The Foundation would provide training and development for bright but needy younger generations in accredited basic, postgraduate and tertiary institutions to support the government's efforts in quality education.
Gbetsoolor Ashitey Akomfra said: "On my ascent to the black Teshie stool, I found a sad decline in educational standards and the concomitant danger of pushing the Ga-Dangme languages and cultures to l & # 39; extinction.
"I decided to create the Foundation to help reserve the alarming situation as part of my modest efforts."
He called on natural and legal persons, especially telecommunication companies, to help traditional authorities raise funds for development.
Gbetsoolor Ashitey Akomfra said three years ago that he led the revamp of the Teshie Homowo brand to develop a new brand for the region.
"Today, I am proud to announce that, thanks to this innovative strategy, Teshie has celebrated the next Homowo in absolute peace and tranquility. Now, the era of stigma by our leaders and other high profile personalities is over. Teshie has become a very attractive arena for development partners and businessmen.
He asked the native Ga-Dangme to stop fighting and instead help to jealously protect and promote their rich cultures and languages for posterity.
