1.    How did you get to hear about IHAV Foundation?

 I saw the ad in a friend’s profile.

2.    What motivated you to participate in the 2013 July conference?

I was motivated by the fact that the conference was organized by people just like me. (The youth)

3.    Briefly explain how you benefited from the experience during the 2013 July conference

Explaining my benefit briefly is not fair; because I have too much to say. This conference in-stilled in me the “I can do” spirit. I left the conference knowing that I cannot wait for one more second to go by without thinking about a realistic vision and also putting effort in my visions. After doing critical analysis, I took a bold step of putting my vision into an action and today I can boldly say that though I am an employee for someone, I have also become an employer to others, still being a youth.

4.     Have you followed up with your team mates to see that your project is done and how have you managed that

Unfortunately that has not gone well; initially we formed a chat group to help us communicate more, since not all members were in Ghana. However, nothing came of it; we know is not too late to put an action into our vision.

5.    Given a second chance would you like to participate in the upcoming conference

A big Yes

6.    What did you like most about the conference?

I like that I was not dictated to or given long speeches. I was involved and made to think on my feet. I also loved that I stayed with people all over Africa and have all become friends. And of course I loved the entertainment part, especially dance moves of different countries. I totally loved the whole experience.

7.    What would you tell those anticipating applying for the 2014 conference.

If you don’t have a vision, be there. If you have a vision be there, and at the end of just the very first day your mind won’t let you rest till you dream a vision and enforce it into a profitable action.
