Araba Africa ladies trip slated for December
The second session of exciting and fun filled Araba Africa ladies’ camp would come off this December at Takoradi, during the yuletide.
Life Purpose Coach of Araba Africa, Antoinette Gyan said the ladies’ camp was an initiative that sought to provide young ladies an opportunity to reflect on their career, achievements and set new goals for the coming year.
She noted that the tour would be filled with thrilling scenarios which offer an opportunity for ladies to go on a trip to explore the country and have fun.
The Life Purpose Coach added that, this year’s trip would give ladies the chance to join the ever-popular masquerade at Takoradi.
The ladies’ camp involves 12 or 15 ladies who travel to different destinations with passion and pleasure, as well as spend their time developing strategies that will lead to a fulfilling career and life.
It is a three-day trip full of exercise, goal setting and fun, and registration for this year’s trip is opened from this August with special offers to early registers where registrants and the registration would end on November 14, 2021.
Stella Tetteh, a participant of the past trip recounted her experience to The Spectator saying “It has been amazing, and we are grateful. I thought it was just a vacation but it has a lot of learning, introspection and spirituality.”
Legendary Ghanaian gospel musician and founder of the Asomafo gospel group, Yaw Sarpong, is reporteddead.
The 66 year old gospel artiste is said to have died at the Emena Hospital in Kumasi on January 20, where he was receiving medical treatment.
For sometime now, Yaw Sarpong had been dealing with prolonged health challenges, forcing him to reduce his public appearances and step away periodically from performances.
Yaw Sarpong is widely credited as a pioneer of contemporary Akan gospel music.
Through Yaw Sarpong and Asomafo, he introduced a distinctive sound marked by rich harmonies, disciplined arrangements and lyrics firmly grounded in Christian teachings.
His leadership and musical direction helped shape the identity of gospel music in Ghana for decades.
Some popular tunes by the group includes ‘Wo Haw Ne Sen’, ‘Tie Obiaa’, ‘Aduro Yesu’ and ‘Awurade Kasa’, tracks that continue to feature prominently in churches and Christian gatherings across the country.
Yaw Sarpong’s death comes barely some weeks after the passing of Maame Tiwa, a key pillar of the Yaw Sarpong’s Asomafo music group.
