Face of GAHTI launched


As part of measures to curb the spread of breast cancer diseases in the country, the Greater Accra zone of the Ghana Association of Health Training Institutions (GAHTI has launched its beauty pageant project aimed at raising awareness on breast cancer in Ghana.
 The project dubbed “Face of GAHTI Ambassador of Health 2016” is a beauty pageant competition which seeks to unearth the most talented, bold and beautiful lady who stands out among other fifty contestants vying for the crown as the next face of GAHTI.  

The launching forms part of GAHTI’s 16th week anniversary celebration slated for this April which  promises an array of youthful fun-packed activities lined up to thrill patrons.

The winner and the face of GAHTI will champion the course and promote breast cancer awareness creation including other health care related diseases in the country. As a result she will also assume office as an ambassador for the Breast Cancer International Ghana, a Non-governmental Organization championing the course of breast cancer education, awareness creation and prevention in Ghana.

 For her prize, the face of GAHTI takes home a cash prize of GHC 1,300.00 cedis plus a brand new laptop for her reward.
The hunt for the next face of GAHTI keenly began with 50 beautiful ladies who are drawn from   various health training institutions in Accra forming part of GAHTI’s membership.

Out of the 50 contestants competing for the crown, 20 of them have made it successful throughout the auditions during first round of the competition.

The 20 ladies will be opened to a series of tests in the subsequent rounds paving way for the final 5 who will be selected for the final round of the competition out of which the winner will emerge and be crowned as the next face of GAHTI.

Image
Many eyes have seen it but are yet to believe. To those who are convinced that God's creature exits on earth with such a weird shape of head have been left totally flabbergasted and worried too.That is human nature; doubting Thomases everywhere.

The campaign, popularly known as the ‘KTT Project’, focused on addressing issues of kidnapping, teenage pregnancy and drug abuse but equally set about creating a deeper education on human rights to bring about a cultural change. The ‘messiah initiative’ which saw a dedicated team of young volunteers in communities, schools and religious settings within three regions of the country managed to reach over 60,000 Ghanaians over two years sensitizing them on the most pressing and critical and social issues Ghana is facing.   HRRG team of volunteers The HRRG is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which brings together journalists, news editors, human rights activists, advocates, defenders and lawyers to advan
