Diamond Kids School Complex Holds Fifth Annual Food Festival

Words cannot vividly express the excitement that characterized the fifth installment of Diamond Kids annual food festival program. With all facts checked, the program outdid its objective and indeed exposed to the public, pupil’s creative skills in cooking and food garnishing.

Officially dubbed “Dakids Food Festival” and with support from Phytoscience Crystal Cell Ghana Limited, the program had pupils prepare variety of dishes within a stipulated duration and these pupils, even from Kindergarten, finely executed their part to the amazement of parents, invited guests and onlookers.  

In attendance were Dr. Borris Yelson of Chrisand Care Consult who together with other health professionals gave free health screening to attendants; Mr. Dzidula and Mr. Wonder Satsi all of Phytoscience Crystal Cell Ghana, Private Auditor Madam Sabrina Lane from Blue Skies Product Ghana Limited and Mrs. Elizabeth Afriyie from the Ghana Education Service.

In his address on the need for inclusive education at the basic level, the Headteacher of Diamond Kids, Mr. Obed Mante Asare stressed the need for the government and the Ghana Education Service to include the study of sign language into Ghana’s educational policies.

He also encouraged parents and other basic educational institutions to inculcate love for Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) into pupils in basic schools.

He encouraged parents to give children access to diverse forms of languages for brain development.  

He also encouraged doctors and nurses to partake in sign language lessons in order to help smoothen consultations with deaf patients in various hospitals across the country but this, he thought, wouldn’t see a high level participation and effectiveness without government’s enforcement of compulsory education to all health professionals in Ghana.
