Joey B and Edem entertaining the audience |
The 1st
of December has come to be known and celebrated as World AIDS Day for some
years now. For this year’s celebration, Kaylers Communications joined in the
awareness campaign by organizing a free awareness concert on the pandemic. The
event took place at the Aviation Social Center in Accra on December 1st.
Artists
who thrilled the audience which was made up of mainly school children and a few
adults were DI Green, Joey B, Gemini and Edem. They all spoke about the
pandemic and advised the children to concentrate on their school and to abstain
from sex since aside the possibility of getting the HIV virus, they could also
get pregnant and might have to be forced to drop out of school. Other
information on the pandemic was also delivered by some members of the LEO Club
and the Emcee.

There
were various exciting moments during the concert when some of the children
decided to compete on their own free will. There were rap and dance
competitions which were aptly coordinated by the emcee for the show, Isaac
Wilberforce Mensah, aka Spikey with support from some members of the LEO Club.
Just after Edem performed, one child told the emcee he could rap in Ewe better
than Edem and called for a challenge between him and Edem. He rapped and got
the audience excited. Edem dashed him a present for being confident enough to
call for a challenge. All the children who competed won prizes from the sponsors
of the program.
Before
the actual concert started, the children were put into groups. Some played
football and basketball while some had an interactive question and answer
moment on HIV\AIDS.
The
event was sponsored by RLG Communications, Indomie and First Capital Plus.
Congrats on the successful organization. You pulled it off. This is the beginning on bigger and better events. I had lots of fun volunteering. Cant wait for the next one!
