WORDS OF THANKS


I received with gracious thanks and a deep sense of indebtedness the out pouring of love and goodwill wishing me well and celebrating my election as the President (Chairman) Elect of the Greater Accra Regional YMCA.

Since Saturday the 15th of September 2018, I have mulled over the congratulatory messages, admonishment, demonstration of solidarity and the love shown me and have comes to terms with the true weight of the task ahead of me and it humbles my spirit.

May I use this opportune moment to salute and appreciate the leadership of my predecessors especially Mr. Prince Allotey and to ask of their guidance and  continuous support in our never ending attempt to make the Greater Accra YMCA what it truly ought to be, a colossus in youth empowerment.

I am determine to mobilize strong voices within the Greater Accra YMCA especially the youth to lead the charge in reviving the Region and to spearhead great advocacy on the untold stories of young people in the Region. 

Under my leadership I am determine to do away with all forms of tokenism on the concerns and matters of youth development that has been the bane of our membership retention thwarting our progress as a result of depleting human capacity. In this regard Volunteerism shall be given its proper and dignified perspective as it has been around the world, appreciating and rewarding in a meaningful way the efforts of those who place their time, treasure and talent at the service of the Y.

It is a new dawn for the Greater Accra YMCA and with an open door policy I am calling on all, near and far, educated or not, male or female, handicap or otherwise, new member or old and all that wish great things for the Region to come aboard and lets build a great YMCA worthy of a Capital Region YMCA.
Once again many thanks for your kindness and I pray I can call on it throughout my administration.

Nana Odeneho Amponsah
Greater Accra Region YMCA President (Chairman)
