Dear Friends,

It was nice to hear that you missed Enjoy last month. It was time for our annual break and it was good to get away but you were all dearly missed too.

In this 82nd edition of your favourite magazine, we are happy to share a taste of some of the activities that took place during the break.

ARTSThe 2013 “Chale Wote Street Arts Festival” was held for the the third year running in Jamestown. Over 500 paint-ers, musicians, actors and vendors exhibited their creative arts and talents in a fun and festive atmosphere.

GOVERNANCEAt long last the battle for evidence has ended, and a judg-ment given on the court action and uncertainties of the presidential elections held last December. It is worthy of mention that Ghana has moved up the ladder in terms of

its democratic credentials. We congratulate all the political actors in our beloved country for their commitment to peace and development.

We take this opportunity to congratulate his Excellency, John Mahama, on the national award be-stowed on him by the President and people of the Republic of Benin. We bring you a report on the ceremony.

DIPLOMACYMorocco was our featured country destination in the March edition of Enjoy. To follow up we met up with Her Excellency, Nesha Alaoui M’Hammdi, the new and first female Moroccan ambassador on the continent, on the occasion of their national day.

TOURISMCoasters Travel and Tour brought together stakeholders and public institutions for a full and frank discussion of the future of tourism in Ghana, its growth and promotion.

he Government and people of Benin decorated President

John Mahama with the country’s highest award, the Great Cross, The National Order Of Benin.

The award was in recognition of his exemplary leadership and the significant contribution he has made to democratic governance in Ghana.

Conferring the award at an investiture held in the People’s Room of the Benin Presidential Palace, President Boni Yayi recalled

President Mahama’s commitment to the African renaissance and the need for greater sub-regional and African integration.

He expressed admiration for Mr Mahama’s determination to push through and his willingness to seek the support of colleague heads of state at all forums, at ECOWAS and the African Union, for the development of the continent; describing him as a worthy replacement to the late President John Atta Mills who he described as a blessing to Africa.

“the country has continuously achieved GDP growth of around

8% per annum.”

President Mahama in an address thanked the people of Benin for this award, noting that the former presidents of Ghana are the real recipients of the award.

‘the democratic dividend’.”

““

alain GBeaSor (aG): Good morning Your excellency, congratulationson your appointment and thank you for the interview. i understand that you are not entirely new to Ghana, tell us a bit about yourself and how you got to become ambassador to Ghana.

Nesha Alaoui M’hammdi (NAM): After obtaining a degree at the National School of Public Administration in Rabat, I began work in 1989 with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, on EEC-Morocco relations. I also served in diplomatic missions

bring you this exclusive interview with Her excellency, Mrs Nesha alaoui M’hammdi. He Nesha alaoui is the first female Ambassador from the Kingdom of Morocco to have been posted by the King to represent her country in africa. We caught up with her at the embassy in accra and asked her a few questions.

he Mrs NeshA ALAoUi M’hAMMdi(Moroccan Ambassador)

for the Kingdom of Morocco in Rome, Italy, as an economic and commercial counsellor and then in Accra as the second Ambassador.

From 2005 to 2009, I was in charge of relations between Morocco and the European Parliament. I have a postgraduate degree from the Department of Public Law at the University Mohamed V in Rabat and I am working on a state doctorate at the same University, under the theme of “ the Morocco-EU political cooperation of the association agreement with advanced status “. My appointment by His Majesty the King Mohammed VI to Ghana

is an illustration of His Excellency’s resolve to strengthen ties between Ghana and Morocco.

It is my ardent belief that deepening of relations between our two countries will see the construction of an enviable model of south-south friendship, for sustainable development. Coming back to Ghana after having served here and made friends previously feels like coming back home and I look forward to helping develop the cooperation between the two countries that I love.

aG: What is the role of the Moroccan embassy in Ghana?

NaM: The bilateral cooperation between Morocco and Ghana has existed since the 1960’s.Today the role of the embassy is to strengthen the partnership through a strong South – South cooperation as well as sharing expertise in various key sectors such as water management, housing, energy, telecommunication, transportation, fisheries and tourism.

The embassy plays an essential role in developing and promoting commercial, cultural and academic cooperation between our two countries as well as to provide consular services for Togo and Benin.

aG: How are Ghana - Morocco relations? tell us about some of the projects being undertaken by your country in Ghana.

NaM: The alliance between our two countries stems from the ties of brotherhood and goodwill that existed between the late King Mohammed V and the late Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Both leaders, forebears of Pan-Africanism prepared the launching pad on which the development of the African Union has been built over the last 50 years.

Our bilateral cooperation takes into account human resource development through promotion and training. Moroccan investments

“The alliance between our two countries stems from the ties of brotherhood and goodwill that existed between the late King Mohammed V and the late Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah.”

in the sub-region through trade in the past decade has increased to 460.

Numerous large and medium scale Moroccan enterprises have already been established in Ghana with many more looking forward to investing in Ghana and establishing sustainable trade between the two countries.

AG: In what field of the economy are most Moroccan businesses involved in Ghana?

NaM: Economic relations between Ghana and Morocco have grown at a slower pace than expected since the reopening of our Embassy in Accra in the year 2000, and we are working hard together to increase this. It is my belief that there is a lot of potential for trade between our countries. Morocco is currently the leading African investor in the West African Sub Region. Some notable

Moroccan investments in Ghana include Colina Insurance, Bank of Africa and Air Maroc.

Morocco has a long history of innovations in the fields of housing and construction,the media and tourism to name but a few. The fisheries industry in Morocco has evolved so much over the years that a number of our products find their way indirectly onto the Ghanaian market notable among which is the TITUS brand of canned sardines.

aG: What is your main vision for your tenure as ambassador in Ghana?

NaM: Morocco as an African country has challenges common to most countries in Africa and has developed solutions to them. It is my resolve to facilitate interaction between our governments in order to enhance cooperation and exchange in such endeavors.

aG: What is your vision for your tenure as ambassador in Ghana?

NaM: Morocco as an African country has had challenges common to most countries in Africa and has developed solutions to them. It is my resolve to facilitate interaction between our governments in order to enhance cooperation and exchange in such endeavours. The potential for the growth of our established relationship still exists and it is very important. My commitment as Moroccan ambassador in Ghana is to preserve and enhance the legacy left behind by the late Dr Kwame Nkrumah and King Mohammed V, and to serve the common ambition of our two countries for the benefit of all citizens.

Furthermore, I want to strengthen the presence of Morocco in Ghana as an investment destination and as a partner for Ghanaians and to share expertise in key sectors such as water management, housing, energy, the airline industry, telecommunications, youth development, transportation, fisheries and tourism. I also intend to

institute an Economic Day program where Ghanaian and Moroccan entrepreneurs get together to be held in both countries in order to facilitate cooperation and trade.

aG: what have been some of your high moments in your career?

NaM: The first would be the day I met His Majesty King Mohammed VI to receive my letters of credence as an ambassador to Ghana and most touching is that I became the first woman to have been given such an assignment in Africa by His Royal Highness. Another highlight is coming back to Ghana with a new mission in a country that I love and cherish just as my own country, Morocco.

aG: Your excellency what are your hobbies?

NaM: As a mother, I treasure time spent with my family very much as it enables me to be myself without my official status. I love reading, researching and as an avid Pan Africanist, Ghana abounds in research material and data on this passion of mine and I spend my time researching and re-educating myself.

aG: Finally any message to our readers

NaM: I want to entreat your readers to start taking the lead on the discussions concerning Africa and not allow others to tell our story for us. Whatever story they tell can never be totally accurate.I will also advise that we all are part of a mission, for God and country and to remember at all times these words “don’t let your mission change you and drive you away from your inner self”.

aG: thank You.

1. ListenParents should not discount their children’s fears by just telling them “it will be all right.” Change can be frightening. Parents should reassure their kids that they will not be alone in this process. Children at this age need emotional security, support and a listening ear. Your child is anxious about this transition and wants to know that you are an ally.

2. Get InvolvedWhen students are involved with extra curricular activities, such as theatre, art club or sports, it helps promote belonging. Encouraging involvement in organized school activities fosters teamwork and a sense of place, which ultimately leads to confidence. Confidence comes with inclusion.

3. Help Your Child Learn The RopesMany schools have new student orientation programmes that allow time for incoming students to look round the school. Schools may let students come in and try out locker combinations, locate classrooms and get comfortable with their new surroundings. For students who have their schedules, parents can suggest that they walk through the building as if they were coming and going from classes.

4. Eliminate Stress By Focusing On DetailsThe more attention that parents pay to small details, the easier things will be for a student on day one. For example, most schools mail students their new

schedules over the summer. Parents should look over their child’s schedule to ensure it appears to be correct. Scheduling mistakes do happen, and if there is a problem counsellors are usually available a couple of weeks prior to the start of classes to get these issues resolved. Addressing any scheduling errors early can save your child from waiting in line and missing classes while his/her schedule is changed.

5. Adjustments To Curriculum Take TimeThe higher academic standards of high school and increased competition will take some time and adjustment. Often students earn their lowest GPA during this time, and then begin to figure things out. Some freshman for example, don’t understand that their freshman grades are part of the high school transcript that is submitted when they apply to college.

6. Know When To Seek HelpAfter the first couple of weeks, if your child is having debilitating anxiety or is abnormally worried about school, parents must seek help. Students may exhibit uneasiness and a decrease in self-esteem, but adjustment problems lasting longer than a few weeks may require special help.

During this time never forget to love your children unconditionally. Parents, teachers, counsellors and school leaders need to work together to promote a favourable school adjustment. Nobody can do it alone.

6 Tips To Help Teens successfully TransiTion To HigH scHool

n the next two months thousands of children will take one more step toward a significant rite of passage: they will

transition from being primary school students to becoming full-fledged high schoolers. This transition for kids is scary, the fear of anonymity, unfamiliar surroundings and higher expectations, all play a central role in the anxiety leading up to the start of one’s high school career. There are things, however, that parents can do to assist with this transition.

Cedi Tourism fair as part of a drive to promote tourism in Ghana.The media launch was held at the plush Zbar restaurant in the World Trade Centre building in Accra.

Mr George Spencer Quaye, the Chief Executive Officer of Coasters Travel & Tour, speaking on the theme “Tourism a Tool for Sustainable Job Creation and Accelerated Economic Growth’, said that Ghana’s discovery of

oil places the country in a more favourable position to attract revenue from tourism into the country.

Mr Quaye intimated that aside from the financial contribution that the oil discovery brought to the Ghanaian economy, it further positions Ghana as country with the right economic, social and infrastructural environment for both investors and tourists. He urged the private sector not just to focus on the core oil industry but also on the tourists who will flood into the country in years to come.

The benefiTs of working ouT aren’T jusT physical – exercise can also stave off sadness and boost your mood when you’re battling depression.

So why does moving your body help your brain and what are the best ways to make use of this powerful, natural antidepressant?

If you’re depressed, the first step is to see your doctor or a psychologist to start treatment with talk therapy and/or medication but it is worth noting that for women with severe depression, physical activity can boost the effectiveness of antidepressant medication. And in some instances a woman with mild to moderate depression can control symptoms with exercise.

why Moving your body helps your brainWorking out sets off a chemical reaction in the brain that’s good for everyone, depressed or not. When you exercise, your brain instantly revs up production of endorphins, the chemicals that help elevate mood, improve brain function and concentration.

Staying active also balances cortisol, a steroid hormone produced under stress that creates the fight-or-flight feeling. Reducing cortisol levels helps prevent an anxiety attack and stabilizes mood.

If you exercise regularly, the emotional benefits become long-term. Physical activity can produce chemical changes in the brain that lead to the eventual ‘rewriting’ of memory, which makes an event seem less traumatic. So you feel less drained, depressed or sad.Staying fit can also stave off side effects – both from depression and antidepressant medications – such

as weight gain.

Starting an effective exercise program is as simple as walking out your front door.

• ExErcisE EffEctivElyYou don’t have to run marathons or spend hours in the gym to get the mood-boosting benefits.Even moderate aerobic exercise 3-4 times a week will produce a pronounced effect in a relatively short time.The types of movement you choose targets different depression issues.

A long, peaceful walk can relieve stress and recharge mental batteries. Free weights maintain muscle tone, enhancing appearance and leading to a greater feeling of well-being.

• short, intEnsE workouts – 30 minutes of exercise at a level that gets you breathing hard helps release pain-inhibiting endorphins quickly, immediately enhancing your mood. To avoid burnout, start slowly and work your way up. Don’t try to do more than you’re willing to accomplish on a regular basis. No matter what kind of exercise you do, be consistent. That’s what will keep your brain’s production of mood-altering chemicals balanced.

• MakE it EnjoyablE. Don’t exercise alone: Ask a friend to join you on a power walk through a park or around a mall. Incorporating some social activity makes exercising more fun.

• Mix it up. It’s easy to get bored walking the same route every day or running on a treadmill. Alternate routes, cross-train on different exercise machines, listen to a variety of music and even wear different colours of clothing.

• bE accountablE. Ask a friend or family member to track your exercise schedule and check in once a week for progress updates, to discuss any obstacles and offer kudos when you’ve hit an exercise milestone.

• Go Easy on yoursElf. Berating yourself over a missed workout or shortened routine will only make you feel worse. Instead, remind yourself of how often in the past month you did work out, and use those successes to stay motivated.

• rEward yoursElf. Set obtainable workout goals. For example, if you follow your exercise plan for a week, treat yourself to a massage, movie or new workout gear. Earning treats through hard work will boost your confidence even more.

Although your main focus is on work and organization in September, dear Aries, others are easily charmed by your warmth and sincere approach to the world. You may be investing more time and energy in hobbies, creative activities, and pastimes this month, even though more serious goals are also demanding of your time. Once again, a good mix of work and pleasure is in your forecast. The 5-7 are very strong for new beginnings in a sixth house pursuit, which can be about work, service, self-care, or health. It’s a time for taking charge. Beautiful energy is with your for creating something new, moving a project forward, and for romance on the 13-14. Many of the projects that have been put on hold begin to gain momentum from the 18th, especially career, business, and finance-related ones. This is a time when you’re more accountable and realistic, and the need to make a commitment to your future arises.

September promises to be a mobile, active month, dear Taurus, and family members are demanding more attention and energy from you. If walls need to be broken down with family, the 13-14 can be strong for doing so. Romance can come full bloom this month. The 5-7 brings great energy for communicating your intentions and for starting fresh, while the 9th can stimulate a conflict between family and partnership. Disapproving relatives or partners can discourage you at this time, but it might help you to rethink how you’ve been handling things. A commitment made to or with a partner can be part of the picture around the 18th. It may be time to take a relationship to a new level of responsibility, or to re-evaluate your romantic needs altogether. By month’s end, you know exactly where you stand in love matters, and you have a fair idea of where you are heading. Around the 19th, a creative project reaches culmination, or a speculative venture reaps exciting rewards.

Even though you have a lot to do and get done this month, dear Gemini, you are bound to be feeling especially domestic with the Sun and Mercury spending time in your family and home sector. You may already sense that changes are necessary on the home front, and by the 5-7, new domestic plans can emerge. You continue to be busy running errands and taking care of business, a trend that began in August, and there will be times when you feel quite harried, such as on the 9th. Watch on that day, as well as on the 14th, for over-sensitivity and harsh, impulsive words. It’s also a time to watch for impatience on the road and even while walking and running or working mechanical operations. Haste can not only lead to waste, it can lead to minor accidents as well. Otherwise, this is a solid time for energetic and motivated efforts to learn, write, and communicate. Your career or reputation hits a high note around the 19th. You are thrust into the spotlight and called upon to perform.

Famous Libra : Susan SarandonBORN: OCTOBER 4, 1946 - NEW YORK CITY,USAWhether you know Susan Sarandon from her memorable roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show or Bull Durham, you definitely know she oozes sex appeal, even at her current age, which is most likely a product of having three planets - Venus, Mars, and Jupiter in sensual Scorpio. In addition to acting, Susan and her much younger partner Tim Robbins are involved in political activism, where she proves she’s not only a smokin’ hot mama, but she’s also one smart cookie!

Famous Libra : Usher RaymondBORN: OCTOBER 14, 1978 - DALLAS, TEXAS, USAUsher’s Sun Sign may be Libra, but his chart is dominated by powerful and intense Scorpio: four planets, including Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Uranus, are all in the biting Scorpion’s constellation.

A sociable and energetic month is in store, dear Cancer, with plenty of errand-running, communication, and activity. You have big plans and plenty of spunk in September, sometimes surprising those around you. You are feeling especially independent and spirited, and you receive an energetic boost from the cosmos that helps you to accomplish much from the 5-7. Whatever is a priority to you, it’s a great time to tackle it now, as you’ll be amazed at how much ground you can cover at this time. You may be called upon to become more active in your neighborhood and with immediate family. You could also begin a new course to boost your skills.

While energies are high all month, dear Leo, generally speaking, emotions settle in September up until the last week, when the pace quickens again. This is a time for building, and your larger focus is on immediate practical concerns and the infrastructure of your personal plans. If you need to get organized, use the energy of the New Moon on the 5th to your advantage, and ride on smooth, helpful energy coming your way on the 6-7. You could feel that you have a guardian angel at this time. Money matters should be strong. While the 9th requires some slowing down and dealing with possible delays, the 13-14 is powerful for progressive, original, and fresh ideas as well as for fruitful connections.

September is a strong month for making an impression, dear Virgo, but you are not necessarily ready to make your intentions known. That will come more naturally when Mars enters your sign in mid-October. While you may be feeling misunderstood at times, you are nevertheless getting noticed and appreciated, even if it’s simply admiration from afar. The New Moon is in your sign on the 5th, and this brings good energy for moving your personal and professional plans forward. Others are noticing your abilities, and if you need work, there is a good chance opportunities will pop up now. Activities with groups or friends are energizing and supportive this month, and especially from the 6-7. Be sure to network at this time.

September can be a pleasant month if you take extra time to relax, listen to your intuition, and avoid pushing matters, dear Libra. A lot is going on in the background now, hidden connections are being made, and while at times life may seem as if it’s slowing down, it’s a good time for allowing things to emerge naturally. Venus in your sign until the 11th boosts your powers of attraction, so that your personal magnetism soars even while you are slightly unavailable and insular. While September begins rather quietly for you, by the last week of the month, you are in demand and on show.

A wonderful feeling of renewal is with you this month, dear Scorpio. The 5-7 is especially strong for your social life. Start new and fresh. Your personal projects begin to move forward and a sense of relief contributes to a hopeful mood, especially after the 20th. You are picking up much important information intuitively this month, so keep an “idea” journal. Venus in your sign from the 11th forward is a strengthening force for existing relationships, and also for attracting what and who you want into your life. A strong time to ease challenges and to bridge gaps between you and a special someone arises on the 13th, although something communicated on the 14th can stir up some real drama.

September is a time to shine on a professional or public level, dear Sagittarius. The more responsible and competent side of your nature is activated, and others more easily place their faith in you. It’s a good time to ask for what you have been wanting from a higher-up, or for promotion and sponsorship, and the 5-7 is excellent for moving projects ahead. While your personal life may be on the backburner much of September, your family and domestic life requires special attention around the Full Moon on the 19th. There can be a reality to face about the past on the 18th, but it’s an empowering time in general, as you are in need of some grounding. Personal responsibilities become clear. You may have more resources to invest into your career or business.

You could enjoy a rich and spirited month, dear Capricorn. You may be searching for more exciting or involving experiences now, but at the same time, your famous determination and perseverance are applied to special goals and projects. An opportunity to travel or to meet people from a different background than yours around the 5-7 whets your appetite for adventure. Step back and review rather than push ahead on the 9th, when a reality check may be in order. Treat delays and blocks as chances to fine-tune goals rather than allowing yourself to feel discouraged, as discouragement can lead to poor choices and missed opportunities.

You can cover a lot of ground in your endeavors, personal and professional, this month, dear Aquarius, as you are more focused and willing to put in the effort. If a relationship can benefit from a new beginning, the 5-7 is a fine time for starting fresh. It’s also a good period for managing finances, work, and research. Your close personal relationships can be fiery, demanding, and stimulating with Mars in your partnership all month. The 9th can bring a delay or obstacle and a strong urge to fight back, when your better bet is to choose your battles wisely. The 12-14 is a power period for communications, new ideas, and relationships.

Your close relationships with others come into strong focus this month with the Sun and Mercury in your partnership and intimacy sectors, dear Pisces. It’s a strong time for taking charge of your relationships. Even so, you’ll have more work to do come mid-October when Mars begins its transit in the same house. The 5-7 is powerful for making or enhancing connections. This is a period for fresh starts or new beginnings in the relationship department. Personal charisma skyrockets around the 10th and then again on the 13-14. The 18-19 is another significant period when a Full Moon in your sign occurs close to a conjunction of Venus, Saturn, and the North Node.

The party brought together Ghanaians and the Canada branch of the Old Boys as they reminisced, had fun, ate and danced to some azonto tunes.

Thanks for the fun summer APSU- Canada and friends.
