The ‘AJ’s Help The Needy Project’ (AJHTNP) recently organised a breast cancer sensitisation workshop for women in Domease, under the global theme: “Every Story is Unique, Every Journey Matters.”

Led by the founder, Anita Opoku-Appiah, the event sought to educate the community on the critical importance of regular breast cancer screenings, with particular focus on the youth. Madam Opoku-Appiah emphasised that early detection is vital to saving lives, noting that some communities often lack access to such crucial information.

The “Pink Talk” session not only provided education on breast cancer but also offered on-site screening opportunities for attendees.

The Assembly Member for Domease, Mr Emmanuel Nortei Snr., expressed gratitude for the initiative and encouraged active participation in the programme.

Madam Esther Asamoah Donkor, Deputy Women’s Organiser and Assembly Member for the Methodist Electoral Area, highlighted the importance of regular screenings for everyone, including young people. She urged residents not to rely solely on traditional medicine for health concerns but to prioritise professional medical screening.

Health professionals at the event also provided information on the national HPV vaccination programme, urging parents to ensure their children receive the vaccine and to participate in breast cancer screenings.

The workshop underscored the significance of proactive health measures and community awareness in preventing and managing breast cancer.

Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.

In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.

Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.

He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.

He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.

In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.

But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
