Touching on the venue for the conference, Ms Palma said the choice was deliberate. “It is to afford these students, some of whom have never travelled out of their village, the opportunity to have a feel of a university.” “Hopefully, they will be motivated to learn hard and aspire to gain admission into the university at the end of their senior high school course”, she said.

The annual United States Peace Corps Ghana conference dubbed “Peace Corps National Stars Conference” comes off in Kumasi from June 05 to 09.
For three years Peace Corps volunteers teaching Science, Mathematics, Visual Art and ICT in rural senior high schools in the country have been organizing the conference.
In a statement issued in Kumasi on Tuesday, Ms Melinda Palma, Coordinator of the Peace Corps volunteers, said the conference would bring together students from various schools to deliberate on topical issues affecting them and the youth in general.
She said topics to be discussed would include career options and the way forward in the choice of subjects, HIV/AIDS and leadership skills.
Coca-Cola, Fan Milk, Nestle and some banks will sponsor the conference.

 | Dodd vows to filibuster Surveillance Act Senator Chris Dodd vowed to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that helped this administration violate the civil liberties of Americans. "It is time to say: No more. No more trampling on our Constitution. No more excusing those who violate the rule of law. These are fundamental, basic, eternal principles. They have been around, some of them, for as long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our country is at risk is abandon them." |
