GCAP Ghana Celebrates International Youth Day

“No society can develop without adequately resourcing its young people to contribute towards development efforts”

Excerpts from President Obama’s speech “A New Moment of Promise”

President Obama just finished speaking in Ghana and I wanted to share a few key quotes:

I am speaking to you at the end of a long trip. I began in Russia, for a Summit between two great powers. I traveled to Italy, for a meeting of the world’s leading economies. And I have come here, to Ghana, for a simple reason: the 21st century will be shaped by what happens not just in Rome or Moscow or Washington, but by what happens in Accra as well.
