NGO SETS UP COMPUTER CENTRE AT KOMENDA (Page 20)

Story: Joe Okyere, Cape Coast

THE African Information Centre (AIM), a non-governmental organisation, is setting up a computer training centre at Komenda in the Central Region to train pupils to acquire skills in computer application, business management, ecology, nature conservation and tourism management.
The project will enhance the prospects of the youth and also support the formation of independent young and talented minds.
The Project Director, Mr Jorn Preub, made this known at a durbar to sensitise the people at Komenda.
Mr Preub said the objective of AIM was to produce an independent minded and socially responsible youth who had the ability to solve Ghanaian problems independently.
He said it would also help curb migration of the youth from the countryside so that they would recognise and be able to achieve more with their own available facilities.
The guest of honour for the function, Dr Mrs Linda Dzama Ford of the Educational Leadership of the University of Cape Coast, advised the youth to resist the pressure from peers to indulge in acts that had the potential to ruin their future.
The Project Manager, Mr Solomon Appiah, said AIM Youth Club, comprising school pupils in the area, had been formed to train the youth to use waste water sachet to produce bags to reduce the menace the sachet was causing the environment.
