Ghana 2014 is set to be the experience of a lifetime for all the participants, Ghanaian hosts, and most importantly, the viewers of this groundbreaking documentary. Ghana 2014 will be a collaboration of the allAfrican American cast of young people to fundraise, raise awareness, experience, and document a pilgrimage to the conception of the African Diaspora, as it relates to Ghana, and to preeminently expose it to those who are unfamiliar with it. Our goal is to make the world aware of some hidden truths of modern-day African life as it relates to Ghana, and the blend of western civilization and culture that now exist alongside traditional Ghanaian customs. The vision is to also begin The New Enlightenment Era, a period foreshadowed by initiatives of the Executive Director, Producer, and Creator, Randy Person Jr., of Ghana 2014 as a time when the youth of the most influential culture in the world will stand up and hold global powers accountable for their injustices inflicted on humanity. Ghana 2014 will be the spark plug of this new revolution of young intellectuals worldwide, we just need your support NOW!
Meet Randy
In May of 2012, Person, the Creator, Executive Director, and Producer of Ghana 2014, participated in a study abroad experience with Duke University called Duke in Ghana and was also a fullscholarship recipient for the program. It was life changing; I was exposed to something I never understood but it continued, day in, day out, to make sense, he says. Person then began after just two days in Ghana to begin a blog to reveal his experience to his family and friends back home. I would make a post and tweet the link on Twitter,
sometimes even directly to people I followed. I would get numerous retweets and tweets in response, and everyone was loving the blog. But there were a lot of moments I didnt capture, and I would just think I wish my people were here, he continued about the earliest thoughts of documenting his experience in Ghana. Person ultimately decided he needed to find a way to bring the experience from Ghana to the forefront so his family, friends, and intellectuals like himself could experience it as well, without stepping foot in Ghana. The answer is Ghana 2014! Please, Check out the blog he kept on his travels in Ghana in 2012 @ Ghana-2012.blogspot.com The Humanitarian Before leaving Ghana, Person initiated a mentor relationship with one young man named Hamza. Hamza danced during a ceremony at his primary (K-5) school and Person was intrigued by Hamzas excitement during his performance. I just wanted to help encourage him to stay as excited about school, continuously. They exchanged facebook and phone contact information and stayed in heavy contact. In August 2012, Hamza reached out asking for assistance with paying tuition to Guardians Academy, a middle school in Ghana. Person rushed to Hamzas need and assembled an affordable platform to pay for the tuition fees. Soon enough Person hooked deans, directors, and professors from the NCCU faculty along with family and friends to help support Hamza. However, due to complications Person ended up paying roughly over 40% of a $1,200 tuition and board cost out of his own pocket. Hamza successfully completed his first year of middle school with flying colors but it seems the same pressures that Person wanted to secure Hamza from by attempting to support his education got the best of Hamza. Still Person wants to help Hamza but it is imperative that Person gets to handle the situation on a face-to-face level. Support Ghana 2014 and help Hamza get back on track.
